Always happy to be a resource! If you’re exploring funding options, there’s a simple tool I like to share that gives a quick idea of what to expect—it’s not a final quote, but it helps set the stage. Feel free to check it out, and if you ever want to dive deeper, I’m around.


 Hi Tierra, 

I would love to take you up on using that tool to explore funding options. Thank you so much!

Hi everyone! I'm based in Eugene, Oregon and I'm just getting started in real estate investing. My goal is to buy my first property within the next year, ideally a house hack that I can also use to start building rental income, but I'm in a very high cost of living area, so I may need to manage my expectations and look into other strategies. 

I’m currently learning as much as I can and looking to connect with local investors or potential mentors who have experience with buy-and-hold, house hacking, long-distance rentals, or creative financing strategies.

I first got interested in real estate investing through listening to podcasts and seeing others build wealth through rental properties—it made me realize how powerful real estate can be for long-term financial freedom.

Looking forward to learning and contributing here!
