New Motivated Member from Northern California (Sacramento)
Hello everyone,
My name is Brad and I am a new member from Northern California. I'm 25 years old and currently studying Economics at Sacramento State. Currently, I run my own business and that is part of the reason I even developed interest for real estate investing. My business largely focuses on providing real estate photography and video. Initially we started solely as a drone photography business, however, seeing the amount of continuous demand for professional photography within the real estate industry, this was a no brainer. Many of my clients are actually investors themselves which is an awesome way for me to form contacts, while providing them with a beneficial service.
I have already set a couple goals, and I hope to own my first property before I turn 26 (4 months away). Recently pre-qualified, now I'm trying to decide which path to take, Fourplex vs Duplex for my first purchase. I'm looking to house-hack on my first deal.
I would greatly enjoy the opportunity to speak to any of the many professionals on BP. There is some great knowledge on here that I have already absorbed. Would also love to connect locally!
Kind regards,
Brad

@Bradley W. A good way to network in Sacramento is the REI meetup group in Roseville. Starting this month they will have one every month moving forward. I have met a good amount of people just from one meeting that has helped me a lot. I'm new into REI as well, i've been doing this for about 3 months.
