Brandon Hood here with a New Member Introduction (San Diego, CA)

[Brandon Hood]

Hi all!

My name is Brandon Hood, and I my real estate background when in 2005 when my parents joined the industry as Realtors, and I heard allllll about it.  Fast forward 10 years, a housing bubble burst (my parents are still in business and thriving, yay!), and I am fresh out of the University of San Diego with big dreams that I am taking initiative to make reality.  I began my own Real Estate career by getting my CA RE License in May, and have since begun to pour myself into learning about the investing world of real estate.  I came into Bigger Pockets doing research prior to attending a real estate seminar this past weekend, and my eyes were opened to the wealth of knowledge that this site and its community offers.  I believe that I can take everything I have been building towards and the support of BP and achieve my dreams of establishing a healthy passive income in real estate by the age of 25, so I never have to work again - I can chose to work and enjoy my life and its offerings.  I have already accomplished so much in a week since committing fully to this career from building a team of investors (which I am looking to grow if you're interested), to lining up 3 cash buyers (with a list of 12 more to contact), to learning the hot flip markets in San Diego are and finding potential properties, to establishing my own company (more details on it soon!).  I say all of this not to brag, but to tell this community of like minded people that if a 22 year old just out of college can learn to do all of these things from the people on this blog IN A WEEK, then anyone can, because of the value of those around you here.  I want to connect with as many of you wonderful people as possible, and put some deals together with you, so that everyone can achieve their dreams too, whatever they may be.  Thanks for reading, and you all will DEFINITELY hear more from me soon (look for that first deal to be posted in the next few weeks!).

Best,

Brandon Hood

P.S. Special thanks to @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner for creating and growing this wonderful place (and to all those who make BP possible that I don't even know about yet).  You two are phenomenal people and your podcast is fire!!!
