Newbie from Albuquerque, New Mexico

[Patrick Hamm]

Hello all,

My name is Patrick, and I'm from Albuquerque, NM.  I've been casually visiting the forums for a while now but wanted to get more involved.  I want to use real estate to eventually generate enough passive income to replace a day job and retire early!  

I own one rental property currently, but am looking to expand my portfolio over time.  I really like the economies of scale offered by multi-family properties, and plan to remain in this niche.  I'm always open to learning more about this industry, and have been trying to absorb as much information as possible.  Would definitely like to find some local REIAs that I can become involved in.

Looking forward to getting to know members of the community!

@Patrick Hamm and @Tyson Hosey glad to see you have joined the best real estate investing site on the internet!  Albuquerque is a great market to invest in and there are a lot of great local people that can help you out. 

As far as REIAs go, there are 2 general ones and 2 niche groups.

The 2 largest groups are ACRENM and ABQREIA (more info on the upcoming meetup on October 19th ==> HERE)

The niche groups include the Multifamily Breakfast Club and the New Mexico Real Estate Mastermind

Lots of great options, if you guys ever want to grab coffee, reach out! Hope to see you at the next REIA.
