Hello everybody from Eastern PA!

[Brendon Weaver]

Hello everyone! My name is Brendon Weaver, I'm an optometrist and I recently discovered biggerpockets.com by a post in one of my optometry Facebook groups. I opened my own practice about 5 years ago, so that was my baby that I was focusing all my energy on. Recently, one of my patients talked about owning several rental properties and being a landlord. I had an interest in real estate a long time ago, but again, focusing all my efforts on growing my my business. But now that I'm established, I'm looking for diversification by investing in residential real estate and believe that now I'm ready for it. I'm still trying to figure out my niche, but I'm trying to learn as much as possible by reading the forum, listening to the podcasts, reading the beginners guide. I'm a buy-and-hold guy with my mutual funds and stocks, so maybe I'm leaning that way with real estate. Still figuring it out and working on setting the goals. There is A LOT to learn!
