[Rohan Attravanam]

Hi all,

I'm Rohan Attravanam, a total newbie into Real Estate Investing but very passionate about investing and personal finance in general. Financial Freedom is why I wake up everyday :). I'm so excited to have found BP and love the vibrance in the community. Feels awesome to be part of it!

I'm reading up on tons of material on site, listening to podcasts, attended most recent webinars by Brandon (Analyzing Rentals). Obviously overwhelmed by so much wealth of knowledge. I'd love to get started and act. Step 1 is to absorb as much info as I can. But step 2 is creating my action plan of networking and choosing a strategy to go after.

Bay Area is a very expensive place to invest for newbies like me. I've family in Cleveland - Ohio, Cary-NC and Tampa - FL areas where I might consider investing for multi family rentals. I'd like to set the following as my goals and would love inputs on my thoughts:

• Network locally to understand the industry
• Start off with a couple of Wholesale deals so I understand the process
• Invest in my first multi-family property in about 4 months from now. 

Can't wait to learn from and contribute to this community!!
