New to the BP community

[Mason Weiss]

Hi everyone! My name is Mason and I am a new member in the BP community. Six months ago, I was introduced to Brandon Turner and the Bigger Pockets podcast and it has transformed my motivations, goals, and really my life. I just got married two months ago, and am looking to buy a multi-unit property to house hack with my wife for our first home. I have lived in Chandler, Queen Creek, and Gilbert my entire life and it has been surreal to see the growth in the market over the last few decades. I would love to connect and chat with anyone involved in the industry, especially those in the Southeast valley (Gilbert, Mesa, and Queen Creek). Lastly, any words of wisdom that you would give to someone as they begin their journey as a real estate investor?

Hey @Mason Weiss,

Welcome to the community!  I would love to give you more insights to the East Valley area, but my area of expertise is the North Valley.

If I was to sum up some words of wisdom... "don't over analyze your first deal, pull the trigger and learn like crazy."  For the rest of your investing career... "be patient and focus on the long term goals, that where the real wealth is made with time."
