Hello BP community.
My name is Joe Santos. I am currently located in Weymouth, MA a short ride south of Boston proper.
I happened upon the BP podcast about a month ago and got hooked. I am trying to get my bearings with Real Estate Investing. I have no experience with real estate except for my current residence, a SFH. I have a full time W-2 job at an Ivy League University as an Executive Sous Chef. I might not be able to offer much along the lines of real estate experience , but I can make you an awesome meal.
My goal is to learn as much as I can and in the near future take the plunge with a rental property and grow from there. I am looking to play the long game and invest in real estate to secure a future for my wife, and my children. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully, one day I will be able to help the community as well.
Thanks to all in advance.
Joe
