Ready to learn!

Hello! I wanted to make a post and introduce myself and what my goals are for bigger pockets. I am 22 years old and am young in the banking world. I purchased my first house this year and get married later this year as well. I want to be able to retire at a young age with passive income as well as make some extra income sooner. I’m very excited to learn and talk to everyone.

@Hudsen Johnson,

Hi and welcome! Congratulations on buying your first house and on your upcoming marriage - that’s a huge year! Starting this early gives you such a great advantage in building long-term wealth. A lot of investors on here, including myself, have used real estate to generate both long-term passive income and short-term cash flow.

If you're open to out-of-state investing, there are several markets in the Midwest and Southeast that are beginner-friendly and offer solid returns, especially for single-family homes and small multifamily properties under $300K. Areas like Birmingham (AL), Columbus (GA), Ocala/Citrus Springs (FL), Memphis (TN), and Akron/Canton (OH) are popular for this reason.

Excited to follow your journey! Always here to chat more about specific markets or run deal scenarios side by side.

Best of luck!
