New to real estate and ready to learn!
My name is Anthony and I am currently a full-time healthcare professional. I'd been working and saving for many years, however, did not feel it was enough. With the future being so uncertain I realized there was a need to do more than just rely on my job for financial security. I reached out to my investment advisor who pointed me to a couple books that opened my mind to the other possibilities. I came to the conclusion that I should start here in real estate. Of the many strategies I've looked into, House-hacking and short-term rentals piqued my interests.
Currently I am working in partnership on a luxury Air Bnb property in the Philippines to familiarize myself in short-term rentals.
I live in Cerritos, CA and am looking to invest into a multi-family home to house-hack in Orange County, CA to get started.
I will need a residential agent and possibly a contractor.
I look forward to learning and hopefully working with you all!
