Investor from California (Newbie)

[Account Closed]

Hello everyone!

My name is MAYRASOL ALVAREZ. I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA but currently reside in the East Bay with my husband and teen aged daughter. In 2015, I left the Corporate World after putting in nearly 25 years. I run my own travel agency from home which has been an awesome experience.

My husband, DOMINIC, was born in Chicago, IL but raised in the East Bay. He is a Martial Arts Instructor and a Physical Therapist Assistant. We are hoping he can quit his day job soon.

We are in the early stages of starting a second business, Real Estate Investment, together. 

Right now, we are focusing on wholesaling in Chicago, IL / Dallas, TX and North Florida (Tampa, Orlando, and up). However, we do have a buy and hold property in Cape Coral, FL (one lot).We are working on building through quick cash opportunities so that we can turn around and reinvest. As soon as we are able, we plan on getting into rental properties then eventually flip houses.

Some acquaintances of ours are also investors and had mentioned finding Bigger Pockets. They suggested we look into it, which we did and it has been an awesome resource so far for advice and networking. I look forward to continuing my exploration of BP and also meeting like-minded individuals who we can possibly work with but mostly learn from.

We have always been interested in real estate and are enjoying "learning while doing" in this business. It's been fun so far!

Before I end our introduction, we would like to welcome all other "newbies" like my husband, Dominic, and I. We hope to meet many of you as well as learn and grow with you.

Goodnight from CA.

- Mayrasol and Dominic
