By day I am a software engineer for a large aerospace company that specializes in designing, launching, and operating spacecrafts throughout our solar system. I have flown missions to Mars, Jupiter, and various asteroids during my career. At home, I am an advocate of the house-hacking strategy; I have 4 bedrooms rented out and cashflow about $700 per month. My short-term goal is to repeat this strategy until I have acquired 10 properties. Outside of engineering, I have created a successful real estate agent business. My connections through work, friends, and their referrals have been the bulk of my business. A few of my clients have been previous roommates from house-hacking, who have moved out to pursue their own house-hacking dreams! I love real estate for its potential to change lives, in my own, and in the clients I serve. Everyone can become wealthy and financially independent by strategically placing their money in real estate, and repeating the process. Let's all get rich, slowly, but surely. Experience: Housing hacking my primary residence and renting out 4 other rooms! I bought the house before finding BiggerPockets, so monthly expenses like repair, CapEx, etc. were not included in my initial analysis. Honestly, I bought it out of hope that the value would appreciate and rental income out cover my mortgage and utilities. Luckily, this is the case. Real Estate Goals: Hoping to use BiggerPockets as an aid to meet like-minded investors, network, and establish mentors and mentees. I have been investing for 1 year. 6 more years until millionaire status! Currently Seeking: Looking to build my team. I'm in need of referrals for general contractors, lawyers, and CPAs.
