Hello Everyone,
My name is Pete Perez and I just graduated college this past June. I've started my career as an Engineer in the Anaheim, CA area. I currently live in the Inland Empire. I want to break into investing in income properties, and build wealth over the next phase of my life. I will be pursuing buy & hold investments over the coming years and am really excited to get started. I just finished Rich Dad Poor Dad, so my goal at this point is sort of abstract. I want my asset column to grow large enough to balance out, and eventually surpass my expense column. I look forward to chatting with experienced investors and learning as much as I can.

Welcome @PetePerez and congrats on graduating as well. It is nice to see there is still some of us out there that attend school..Lol
I grew up in the Inland Empire and started the investment world out in that region. Now expanded my way out to Orange County and Los Angeles. Let me know if you have any questions..I'd be glad to help out.
