Colin Mills

My name is Colin and I am a 24-year-old software engineer working remotely from Brooklyn, NY. I have always been interested in owning property and the potential cash flow of renting it out, but always felt like that was a "someday" goal and not something I could tangibly achieve soon. I was motivated by the exorbitant cost of rent in NYC -- wanting to start putting my rent money towards equity, rather than lining another investor's pockets. After picking up Brandon Turner's, The Book on Rental Property Investing, I have been sold on the idea that my only limitation is me taking the first step. Given the barrier to entry is so high in this city, I am hoping to find a house hacking deal (likely accompanied by an FHA loan) that will empower me to live for free so I can further build up my wealth to take the next step.
