Good evening! My name is Christopher. I have been looking into investment property for some time. I am hopefully getting close to getting my first rental property but I had a few things I was trying to research which lead me to discovering BP. 

I have a really great opportunity that has come up, but it was a bit sooner than I was planning to purchase. I do not have the down payment needed for it, so I was looking into other ways I could still obtain the property so I can begin renting it out. 

I recently purchased my first house in California which I live in with my lovely wife. I am always working (I am in the military) and doing something, mostly, productive such as school. I am a Physics major! Somewhere along the way I discovered my interest with investing and houses. And as it turned out I was pretty handy at home repairs as well! 

My goal is to be able to invest and have a nice income so I can take it easier and spend more time with my family.
