Hello BP,

I guess I should have read the blog on how to introduce yourself before I go posting away. My name is Rob. I am a structural engineer living in Vancouver, Wa. My business partners and I have been spending that last several months studying, and preparing as much as we can to start actively investing in real estate. 

Our goals, like many, are to become financially independent of our 9-5 jobs. Exiting the "Rat Race" is a huge goal, and we are looking to do this through both active and passive income. Our goal is to begin by rehabbing houses. As we begin to accrue more capital, we plan on looking into also utilizing passive investments, such as buying 4 plexes and working our way up. 

Thank you BP for all and any advice, wisdom, etc.. I'd love to be of any help that I can here as wellI may not be an expert in investing, but I do know structures! let me know if I can help. 

We are currently looking for a GC in the area. If anyone knows of one, or has any advice to share, I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks,

Rob
