Newbie Investor From Ontario/Rancho Cucamonga, CA

[Matthew Gonzales]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Matthew Gonzales and I am just beginning my investing career. I am a licensed sales agent of just 1 year and I realize that investing in real estate is where I want to be. I am interested in multi-family properties, note investing and 1031 exchanges. My ultimate goal is to own enough small multi-unit properties to 1031 exchange for a single 100+ unit apartment building complex. I look forward to networking and learning all that I can from this awesome group of people!

@Matthew Gonzales Welcome to Biggerpockets! Why multifamily if I might ask? I think it's a great goal and I applaud you, but most new investors look for SFRs to begin with. I myself fell for the concept of multifamilies after researching how many years it would take me to build a business based on SFRs, as opposed to multifamily apartment complexes.
