New to Bigger Pockets from Tempe, AZ!

[Nehemias Ponce]

Hi everyone! My name is Nehemias and I am writing from Tempe, AZ where it was a scorching 115 degrees today! I am new to the BP forums and new to real estate investing as well. I have had a bit of semi-accidental real estate success. By that I mean that I have always been interested in real estate as means of enhancing income. So over the last 18 years I made a little (a very little) study of it. Six years ago, with enough information to be dangerous, we rented out a home that we could not sell in order to upgrade our primary residence. Our first and only tenant has been trouble free and we have been able to build some equity and cash flow a little as well! 

I am here now to take the next step down the path of real estate investing. I am interested in buy and hold single and multifamily investing. My hope is that I can build a portfolio that will allow me to retire from my day job much sooner than expected. I am also very much interested in modeling for my children how to use real estate as a means to building financial security. Thank you everyone for all the great posts and articles. I am excited to join this community and begin a more purposeful career of real estate investing!
