Hello! My name is Chez and am excited about BP and RE! I've been focused on being debt free and having a sizeable amount of savings. Now that I have that, I'm looking for opportunities to leverage my money and get to financial independence ASAP! I thought about getting a multi unit, but I can't justify putting down $50-100k down in L.A. with minimal returns while decreasing my liquidity. I'm still reading the beginner books, but want to dive in once I understand RE.

Chez,
Welcome to BP. Like @Chris Vicari, I am in San Diego, and also new to BP and REI. I am still looking for my "in" and would love to connect with you and share stories, both good and bad on our journey. Maybe even work on some deals some day. Best of luck, and welcome again.
