Excited to Start My Real Estate Investing Journey!

[Erick Pena]

Hello everyone!

My name is Erick, and I’m thrilled to be starting my journey into real estate investing. I’m originally from Texas but now call Colorado home. The Air Force brought me here, and I’ve stayed ever since—I’ve really come to love it here!

Outside of real estate, I’m a huge sports fan, so you can usually find me glued to almost every game on the weekends.

My interest in real estate began as I explored different ways to generate passive income, which ultimately led me to the BiggerPockets community. Like many of you, I started by reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, and from there, I dove into Brandon Turner’s book on real estate investing.

I’m incredibly excited to embark on this new adventure and can’t wait to see where it leads. Looking forward to learning from all of you and sharing the journey together!

Cheers,
Erick

Whats going on @Erick Pena and welcome to BP!

Fellow Texan here!

Here is one recommendation as you begin your REI journey.

Make sure to have your team around you before you start, or as Brandon Turner from the BP podcast calls it, your CORE4. 

Who is your CORE4??

1. Your contractor

2. Your deal finder (agent/wholesaler)

3. Your property manager

4. Your Lender

My suggestion to find #2 & #4 would be to go to the top of this page and click on AGENTS & LENDERS. There you will be asked your criteria and then after answering a few questions you will be matched with 3-5 agents or loan officers in your area. My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews. That way you know they are active in the BP community!

Best of luck!
