New Member / Wanna Be Investor

[Tyler Kirk]

Hello everybody! I have just recently created a bigger pockets account after listening to countless hours of the Bigger Pockets Podcast on my drive to work and I thought I would just take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Tyler Kirk and I work as an Apprentice Lineman for Pacific Gas and Electric Company. I currently live in the San Fransisco bay area where the price of rent and let alone a mortgage would just about give you a heart attack. But my wife and I have decided that come hell or high water we are going to finally get into the real estate investing game.

Our strategy will include looking at more reasonably priced out of state markets for long term buy and hold properties. We are still on the fence about whether we should focus on SFRs or on multifamily units but I'm sure that just depends on what market we end up going with. Anyways I just wanted to introduce myself and make what I'm sure will be the first of many posts, but the next few will probably be full of questions that I have that hopefully someone will be kind enough to answer. Thank you in advance for any help and I look forward networking with all of you and being a part of the community. Thanks!
