Starting the journey from Sierra Vista, AZ

[James Christian]

Hi guys.  My name is James Christian and I am writing this intro for both my wife, Karen, and myself.  We hail from the small town of Sierra Vista, AZ.  I am very excited to have found this forum.  My wife and I have just started our journey into real estate investment at the beginning of this year and we have vowed to have made actionable steps by the end of the year.  I work for the fed. gov. and Karen is a stay at home mother/full time looking for investments.

Our end of the year goals are the following: 1) finding a house hack in Sierra Vista (which has proved difficult with sellers in the area wanting waaayyyy to much for their properties and not budging an inch), 2) doing a BRRRR on Karen's grandma's 3:1 property in Omaha, NE (very excited about this since its a fixer upper in a neighborhood with similar rentals going for around 1.2K, and finally 3) buying an additional property, single or multi, in an area that is not Sierra Vista, so a long distance buy. We don't want to, and think that it is the wrong move, to push most of our liquid assets into this town.

Looking forward to getting to know you guys on here, and this will certainly help to keep us accountable.

Cheers!
