Getting my feet wet in Nashville, TN

[Andrew Untersee]

Hello BP Community!

My passion for music first brought me to Nashville about 4 years ago to pursue an education in Audio Engineering. Since arriving here and settling down with my family and a standard 9-5, I've been intrigued by all the new developments happening around town. Yet, It wasn't until about 6 months ago when assisting my Mother-in-Law with her move to Kansas City that I noticed her copy of Rich Dad Poor Dad on her bookshelf. Having caught me eyeballing her book she asked, "Would you like to keep that?" Without a second of doubt, I swiped that book. It wasn't until about a month ago that I came around to reading it, and boy, did the floodgates open. 

Since then I've been obsessively consuming as much literature on personal finance, passive income, business, and most importantly real estate, as I can get my hands on. RDPD, Cashflow Quadrant, Guide to Investing, ABC's of Real Estate were my starters. Eventually, after attending one of the Rich Dad free RE seminars and getting the sales pitch for the 3-day "elite" training, my research on the reviews led me to the Bigger Pockets site and I was instantly hooked. Fortunately, I have the opportunity to put in earbuds while I'm at my 9-5, and my days are now filled with BP podcasts. 

Needless to say, I don't even have my first deal yet, but I'm already hooked. The opportunity available to anyone willing to acquire the knowledge and put in the work is evident as you all know. Obviously, I'm still very early in my career, but my goal is to hit my freedom number in 10 years or less. Coming from the Kiyosaki train of thought, cash flow is the name of the game. 

As of now, I'm leaning towards buy and hold / BRRR with single-families, with the intention of trading out my four little green monopoly houses for one big MF red house. However, I'm still just a rookie at this point so the strategy may change as my REI intelligence and market knowledge evolves.

Also, I'm 26, I'm a cancer, I love long walks on the beach and beautiful sunsets, and I'd be happy to take you out to lunch for the opportunity to pick your brain. ;)

Thanks for listening,
