New Investor from Nashville, Tennessee!

[Brian Bandas]

Hi, folks!

I am Brian Bandas. I've been playing music professionally for about a decade, but I have my second son on his way in February, and have found that my taste for the road is waning. I want to be home with my family, and I want to provide for them while also spending time with them.

I first got into real estate when I purchased an amazing rental property about 3 years ago that has been an incredible blessing (if only every deal were like that one). I have become more and more invigorated by the various aspects of RE investing and would love to learn enough to turn it into my full-time job. As of now, I generate passive income from that one property, and am on the cusp of grabbing up one or two more. We'll see how that goes : )

I'm definitely in the market for creative financing, either seller financing or some sort of partnership. I have down payment money, but I'm self employed and the banks don't like me at this point.

I'd love to meet folks who are willing to offer insight to a relative newbie!

I will say this for myself--I LOVE to work hard, and believe passionately and firmly that you reap what you sow. Hard work and will power can truly take you a long way.

Good to meet you all and I look forward to consuming large amounts of insight and knowledge here on Bigger Pockets. Heck, maybe at some point I may even have a little of my own to offer!
