We all got to start somewhere, right?! From Seattle, WA

[Lian Chavda]

Hello, fellow investors!

My name is Lian Chavda. I am a male at 26 years of age. Currently, my profession is in the medical field as I am a medical assistant for a well known Sports Medicine Clinic. The work I do is great. I help people daily and am counted on for my attention to patient care. Although this career path has great benefits, I dont see my self being able to enjoy nice long vacations, buying a big beautiful home, or repaying my parents for everything that they have done for me growing up.

It all began watching "The Secret". This movie put a big light bulb above my head. I wanted to be more than I am, and use my brain more than it is capable of with my position as an MA now. I read Think and Grow rich and Rich Dad, Poor Dad. These books motivated me to find what I can do for myself to be successful. My dad randomly brought up Real Estate Investing. Lightbulb again!!

For the past 2 months, i've been doing countless hours of research online, reading articles, watching videos on real estate, investing, flipping homes, property investing, stocks and all of the sorts. I am still looking at what will suit me best.

I pretty much joined Bigger Pockets to have guidance as I began my first steps into success. Failure may happen, but defeat is not an option. I am willing to learn. I've been through many hardships in life, and will never allow myself to be defeated.

My first goal is to wholesale a property. But I am without money. Thinking of going the "Hard Money Loan" route. I need advice to get started. In my mind, i see the money already coming in. But I need to take the right steps.

Thanks for reading and leave all the help you can!!
