New Member in the Sacramento, California area

[Alester Thomas]

Hello all! My name is Alex Thomas and I'm currently in my 20's with a steady job as an EMT in 911 and a CPR instructor.  I've always thought it impossible to start investing at my age. Though I may not have the experience or insight of many investors on this forum, I have a teachable spirit with a strong willingness to do what it takes to be successful. My research into investing has led me to stumble across the BiggerPockets forum.  I have a particular interest in investing in multifamily residences to produce positive cash flow in the Sacramento Area, as my partner and I are currently planning to get in the game within the next year. My long term goal is to achieve financial freedom through real estate.  I understand it doesn't come easy, as investing doesn't make you wealthy overnight, and there are many risks along the way.  I'm doing as much research as I can to learn the market so I can hopefully stay positive in my first investment.
