New to BP and an Aspiring investor
Hi BP Community,
Although I've joined BP for a few weeks now, I haven't gotten a chance to do an intro. So a little about myself and background, my name is Fong and I call Yuba City home, though you'll often find me in Marysville due to work commitments. I'm a first-generation Asian American of Hmong descent, and my journey has been shaped by my family's dedication to our oriental supermarket business.
With over a decade of experience in our family-owned supermarket, I've honed my customer service skills while contributing to the success of our business. This experience has instilled in me a deep sense of dedication and customer focus.
However, my path has led me to discover a true passion for real estate and helping others achieve their financial goals and attain the American dream. As an aspiring real estate investor, I am driven by the desire to create generational wealth and financial freedom for my family and future generations.
Inspired by my parents' sacrifices to provide a better life for us in America, I am committed to ensuring that their hard work was not in vain. My strong work ethic, shaped by witnessing my family's dedication to our business working 7 days a week for over 10+ years, fuels my pursuit of financial independence.
I've dedicated myself to mastering the intricacies of real estate investment and creative financing strategies. My goal is to build a profitable real estate portfolio with sustainable cash flows.
With a solid foundation in customer service, a deep commitment to financial empowerment, and an unwavering passion for real estate, I am poised to contribute to the world of real estate investment. I am eager to connect, learn, and grow within this incredible community while continuing the legacy of my family's pursuit of the American dream.
I'd love the chance to connect with anyone in the local area and potentially meet. Learning from your experiences and discovering ways we could collaborate would be fantastic! Whether it's joining local meetups, grabbing coffee, or any other gatherings where the local BP community hangs out, count me in.
Thanks so much for checking out my introduction. I'm genuinely excited about the opportunity to connect with fellow BP members in our local area.
Looking forward to it, Fong

What's up Fong, thanks for making such a thoughtful introduction -- it's always amazing to see new investors doing their homework and jumping into the market.
I'm a local real estate broker and investor, and I manage about 120 Airbnb properties (few LTR as well).
Welcome to the BP community and good luck in your endeavors! You have a wide network of friends in the industry here.
