Hungry New Investor From Bothell, WA

Ricardo Lunk
  • Bothell, WA
Posted

Hey There!

Thanks for stopping by. My name is Ricardo and I live in Bothell, WA. A little bit more about myself, I'm originally from the San Francisco bay area, graduated high school in 2011, enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 2012 (Oorah! and Semper Fidelis to all my brothers and sisters of the veteran community here in BP), exited active duty service in 2016, got a job as a Program Mananger for a Software Company here in the PNW and I've been here ever since.

I discovered my passion for real estate when my wife and I started looking for homes a year ago and went to multiple open houses. Long story short, we found the house for our primary residence and bought our first home in Nov 2016. At the time, we weren't really thinking investing so that was that.

I don't exactly remember what got me hooked on Real Estate specifically but I remember seeing BiggerPockets everywhere I looked when I did look for real estate specific investments. 

I haven't truly defined my specific goals just yet as I don't think I'm equipped with the knowledge of what goals are considered realistic just yet. I would say that generating cash-flow and building wealth over time would be a good start for our current goals. I will most likely post my next step on the 'Starting Out' Category so feel free to catch me there shortly!

To piggy back on the title of this post, I'm well aware that there is a lot to learn in order to be successful in this endeavor. I'm hungry and very eager to learn from the best and that's you guys! :) Please feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to chat, and if any of you are local, I'd be happy to have coffee as well. 

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm very excited to be here. 

Best regards,

Ricardo
