New member, starting out with 1st investment property in Vegas

[Eric Gorostiza]

Hi everyone,

I've been listening to the BiggerPockets Podcast for a few months now, figured I'd finally sign up. After being laid off from my tech job 2 years ago, my outlook on my financial aspirations changed, and I started really thinking about how to get to financial freedom. One of the things I've been thinking about is how to lower our taxable income, and build another income stream. We came to the conclusion that real estate would satisfy both. My wife and I recently put a deposit down on a new construction house in Vegas to start our financial freedom journey. This will be our first investment property, so I've been combing through all the resources available to prepare for when the house is finished and getting it ready to rent. Beyond that, I'm also looking for opportunities to invest across the country.
