Christian Mercado is a full-time real estate investor and Army Captain. He got his start in real estate in 2017 with the purchase of his first house utilizing a VA loan. 6 months later, he rented a room out and discovered the power of house hacking. After a year, he purchased another home to live in using his VA loan and rented out the first, and he was off to the races. Since that time he has flipped at least 8 houses, opened up several short-term rentals, and purchased a self-storage facility.
