Hello world from Los Angeles, CA

[Minh Nguyen]

Hey guys, my name is Minh Nguyen. I just moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles, CA. I’ve been poking around on BP for a bit now but felt I should make a formal introduction.

I am a software engineer by trade. I started writing software at age 14 and graduated from UCSD with a degree in Computer Science a little under a decade ago (I'm now 30 years old). I’m currently employed full-time at a large software company and highly regarded amongst my peers.

Although software is one my great passions, my desire for financial freedom is greater and grows with each passing day. I want to be able to “retire” by the time I’m 40 so I can.. do whatever the hell I want, duh! I’ve always had an entrepreneurial itch, partly because I’m a problem solver and business has some intriguing problems to solve.

So far, it appears that real estate investing is the most viable path towards my goal. I’ve been working through various real estate books and lurking around the Bigger Pockets forums. I’m aiming to close my first couple deals by the end of the year while maintaining my day job. My long term goal (at the moment) is to specialize in commercial multi-family properties.

I would love to start connecting with some of the awesome folks here. I’m deeply analytical and have great attention to detail. If you have deals you might need a little extra help on, I might be your guy!
