looking for my first property w/ $20k
Good morning all,
First off, I'd like to introduce myself as a new community member. My name is Richard, I'm 31 years of age, I work for the government, a big-time fitness enthusiast and just recently inherited a small chunk of money after my mothers passing. I have always been interested in rental property investing and naturally stumbled upon "The book on rental property investing" after reading "rich dad poor dad". I have $20k sitting and am very excited about making my first deal happen this year. I live in Sacramento, California, and am looking to scoring my first deal soon, hoping I could connect with you all and attain some guidance and advice from anyone willing to reach out in these forums. I'm excited to connect with you all, and can always trade fitness advice for real-estate advice.
Cheers,
Richard
