Newbie Investor from Boston

[Ryan Drowne]

Hello all at BP!

My name is Ryan Drowne and I am new to the real estate investing industry, seeking to gain as much knowledge as possible in order to be successful. I currently reside in Boston doing sales in the e-commerce sector and have decided to take the plunge into real estate investing ever since I had the pleasure of reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad". My focus is on purchasing multi-family homes in the Boston area using a buy and hold strategy to develop continual passive income. I plan on purchasing my first duplex after my lease is up and using the house hacking strategy to get my feet wet. Thoughts on this? I stumbled upon BiggerPockets one day while looking for new information and couldn't be happier! I look forward to being a part of this awesome community and working together towards the goal of financial freedom.
