(Soon to be) NEW INVESTOR!
Good day all!
I'm brand new to BP and real estate investing. I'm in the education phase and have a goal of buying my first investment property this year!
I currently live in California but will probably look to invest in Florida since that's where I'm from and hope to move back to soon.
My 5 year goal is to earn enough passive income to be able to quit my job and spend more time with my family while traveling where I want, when I want!
Can't wait to learn more and get started investing!
- Chuck
