Hey @Account Closed welcome to the world of real estate in The Valley! If you aren't ready to house hack with a duplex-fourplex, I've seen people make single-family homes and SFH with an additional unit and make a killing. Are you willing to have roommates? I'd love to talk to you and help you figure out a plan of action that works best for you! Also, I can connect you with a few of my preferred lenders here in The Valley that can help you figure out the financing part. Feel free to message me!

@Marcus Maloney I didn't realize it was operational. Thanks for that update!

@Vince Mathis Congratulations on navigating a great deal!

Hey @Alex Bock, Casa Grande is a great market to invest in right now. Homes are super affordable when compared to the Phoenix area and Lucid Motors is building a huge factory out there. It's going to bring a ton of jobs and people looking for housing! I'd love to connect with you and talk more about opportunities in Casa Grande!

Hey @Christian Olivo, I would agree with Catherine. The amount of income you currently have would pose a major hurdle unless you can show a steady increase in 1099 income. There are loan products out there specifically for 1099 income-earners but most require steady 1099 income for 2 years and taxes as well. It might be best to focus on earning more income and getting a solid personal financial situation first before house hacking. 

Hey, @Edmond Thorpe welcome to the Phoenix real estate community! I'd love to connect and answer any questions you may have! 

Hey @Carson Bode, it's great that you and your friend are looking to start to build your investment portfolio. My advice would be to start with the end in mind. What's both your's and your friend's ultimate goal with investing in real estate? Once you all figure that out, use it as your compass. If you want to build/maintain a flipping business then flipping a small condo in The Valley would totally be worth it! I have out-of-state investors that did just that, we are closing next month and they are going to net $15k apiece. If you guys want to have a large portfolio of rentals then use that cash to get a house hack and then level up to another rental. Ultimately it comes down to what's your end game with investing in real estate.

Awesome! Glad I could help!

Also @Sarah Hoffer is a local investor and just posted about her killer House Hack in Phoenix. You guys should connect!

Hey @Cortney Jones, I am very interested in coming to this meeting- once it's planned of course lol! I have been thinking about starting my investing portfolio by house hacking but haven't yet pulled the trigger.
