New BP member in Gilbert, AZ!
Hey everyone!😄 My name is Evan, I'm 24 years old and was born and raised in Arizona. I currently work as an embedded software engineer. A fun fact about myself is that I do comedy improv in my free time!
My current investment portfolio is solely in stocks, options, and crypto. My core investing philosophy is to approach opportunities with a long-term outlook. Short term "quick money" kinds of opportunities don't really appeal to me as I view it more as gambling. This doesn't mean I don't take on riskier opportunities necessarily, I just find comfort in having a compounding engine as a bulk of my portfolio so that I am always operating positive.
I am completely new to real estate investing and would love to find like-minded people to connect with. A mentor would also be awesome to have. I am currently in learning mode and am looking to actually enter the real estate space in a couple years or so. Some investing topics that interest me is landlording, mortgage notes, and hard money lending as my goal is to generate cash flow. Really looking forward to meeting and connecting with y'all!😄

welcome, evan! always love seeing others getting into the RE game early in life. i used to be a die-hard index fund investor & have since moved all my $$ into RE. you just seriously can not compare the two. wealth can be built SO MUCH FASTER in RE vs in the stock market. would love to connect and see how i can help you!
