2 Properties in the past 3 months!

[Chris Olson]

My wife and I are brand new to real estate investing and discovered Bigger Pockets in June of 2020. I used to listen to a lot of different podcasts like This American Life, WTF, Radiolab etc, but ever since discovering BP, it's all I listen to. I started reading as many books as I could get my hands on, listened to as many episodes as I could, and by the end of 2020 felt like I was starting to get analysis paralysis. 

In January I picked up The Intention Journal with the goal of buying 1 property by April 25th. I'm happy to say that we closed on our first property, a 1bed/1bath STR in Big Bear, CA on March 25th, and will be closing on our second property, a 2bed/1bath STR in Joshua Tree, CA on May 20th!

I'm eternally thankful for this community. My entire adult life I've dreamt of attaining financial freedom, but I honestly didn't know that it was a possibility until I discovered BP. Now I'm working as hard as I can to buy back my time, so that I can be there for my wife and daughters (2.5 years old, and 1 week old) instead of being locked away in an office for the next 30 years or so. 

THANK YOU BIGGER POCKETS!
