Hello all,

My name is Michael Welton and I'm 24 years old. I've been listening to the BP podcast for about 3 months now, and I'm starting to get more and more serious about making my dreams a reality. A few weeks back, I told my wife what I was thinking of doing and at first she was a little stand turned off by the idea, but then she started researching herself, and now she wants to do it as well.

I've always imagined myself getting into buying and renting, as well as flipping homes. Ever since I started listening to the podcast, I started to see that it could be realistic and not just my imagination.

Me and my wife our currently talking to a realtor and looking for our first purchase. We've been looking at Condos, just because they are cheeper and if it becomes a rental (The Plan) then we could make good income off of it.

If anyone has any tips or tricks, hacks or advice, we will be happy to listen. The SoCal market isn't the easiest to get into just because it is pretty expensive, but we are motivated to start young. Our current goal is to get our first property by the end of this year, and have three properties by the time we are 30.

Thank you in advance.
