@Jeff Hubert @Trey Green 

Thanks so much! 2021 will be great :-)

Thanks Cory! Yeah man those socks were on my wish list for a while!

@Nico Doss thanks yeah I def think so and can feel momentum building for 2021!

@Noah Howells where are you located now? Have you ever thought about investing in Lehigh as your marekt? Esp since you have intimate knowledge of the area!

Oh man oh man!  You guys do not understand how deeply touched I am that story could possibly be inspirational to people!  It's truly overwhelming!  I want to say thank you to everyone but please forgive me If I miss you (its hard to keep up with all the comments!)

@Wale Lawal @James Lauer @Yadlynd Cherubin @Laurie Kenia Farreau @Account Closed   - Thank you all SO much for your kind words, encouragement and well wishes.  Positive feedback from people like you from BP just inspires me and helps me keep going :-)

@Hadar Orkibi @Neil Schoepp - thanks for you encouragement as well, where would I be without MIH!?!?!  

@Yonah Weiss - thanks Yonah, appreciate it!  I need to see if it makes sense to do a cost seg on tis 6 unit... if not now at some point I'll need help from Yonah the magic man!

@Pride Davis - I need a shirt that says "I do dope thangs" lol - btwn I LOVE your name!

@Darcy Reynolds - you're lucky to be wrorking in the field as a realtor, you have a big advantage and network of resources, I know you can do it.. dont wait to jump in :-)

@Joe Edwards - LL at "punch you in the face" type of industry... it definitely is, and I've been punched in the face a few times, but you're right, it gives you tough skin and prepares you for success!

@Victor J Delarosa - wishing you the best of luck on that first deal, hopefully the seller accepts your offer!

@Andrea Hardaway - thanks! You're actually in a good market, I just listened to a BP podcast with someone who is doing big things in your area... I'll message you the episode!

@Shira Albert - I have to remind myself all the time that it takes time (no matter how much I want to get "there" fast!)... just put your head downa nd keep trudging along... small consistent effort will turn into big change before you know it!  Learn from books ect, but take ACTION... learning by doing is completely different!

@Avihay Ohana - LOL yes thanks! I know people thought I was crazy joining when I was that pregnant lol... but I saw it as a time crunch to get it done quick, not a road block (but maybe i am a little crazy lol)

@Howard Young - I'm glad my story could motivate... don't let anyone distract you from the path you're on!

 Oh nice! well doing the first house hack was the biggest step!  A colleague once told me, if you can run 3 miles you can run 13, you just told yourself to stop at 3 - I started training for my first half marathon the next week LOL - she was right lol

Wishing you guys the best, you can def do a few 2-4 units or 5+ unit easily! Please keep me updated with your progress!

Yeah all the answers are in the post or comments, but I know its a lot to read through, had no idea this would get so many responses!

Wheelbarrow Profits is a education platform//networking community by Jake and Gino - you'll find if you google.

MIH Mastermind (Make It Happen) - is run by Marco Barbaro (Gino's younger brother) and Hadar Orkibi (he's responded in the comments, but for some reason it won't let me tag him now) - it's not part of wheelbarrow Profits, it's a standalone group

Yes this property was listed on MLS, and my partner and I worked with the realtor (who is also our PM) that he had previously worked with on other deals :-)

Are you looking to house hack a multi?

1) Yes the MIH mastermind is paid... to be honest, I hesitated on the cost at first, but now I wouldn't trade it for the world - you have to remember, is not about the price you pay, its about the value you get 

2) When I said marathon, I was talking about my real estate journey so far, not just this one transaction. I started studying REI in 2010 - granted, it won't take everyone this long, but it did for me... For this building, got in contract in October, closed in Dec

Market is only Lehigh Valley for now, and plan to build up as many value add apt buildings as possible to force the equity and keep rolling into bigger.  Next step is ramping up my deal flow in the area, got some ideas brewing :-)

 Not to bust your chops (well maybe just a little)... but what's stopping you?  If you treat your goals as a "wish" that you "hope" for, they'll stay in your dreams and never turn into reality. My mastermind is called MIH Mastermind for a reason (Make It Happen)... you can do it!
