Thank you all for the warm welcome! 

I was waiting to reply till after I closed on the triplex, that way I had some validity and my first rental home/house hack purchase, but unfortunately it fell through because of zoning issues and the golf course not wanting to have it rezoned and the seller not willing to sell the property any other way. It has been a few months full of struggles and headaches, but a great first learning experience. Since then I have put in seven other offers, some even $5,000 over asking price, but keep getting out bid. Multifamily homes are hard to come by right now in my area. I believe I found a solution though and will be trying to close on a large single family home with a two bedroom, one bath inlaw suite by early September hopefully. 

Good Afternoon BiggerPockets, 

I am currently living in Sanford, North Carolina. I am avidly learning all I can about real estate. I am looking into getting involved in real estate to create a path to financial independence. My wife and I are both super passionate about getting started and look forward to all the adventures and learning experiences it will bring.

We are currently in the due diligence period for a triplex, Lord willing we will close on it on August 1st, 2018. Other than the all the hours of podcasts, books, and time on BiggerPockets we are newbies.
