Hello, BP Community! Newbie Investor Intro from Denver

[Christy Browning]

Hello, everyone!

I am Christy Browning, a newbie real estate investor from the Denver, CO area. My husband and I have purchased, fixed up, and rented out our first SFH here. We are cash flowing on the positive side with this property, and are very excited to keep moving forward with our investing. The next steps we are researching and getting into is learning about small multifamily investing as our next step. Also, I am a nurse and love the work I do. Many thank yous to the BP team and members - I have learned so much already from you all and really appreciate everything you do.

I am looking forward to delving even further into the BP content, attending more of the Denver area meet ups, and am making my way through Josh and Brandon's amazing podcast episodes. I also look forward to contributing back to the community as I gain experience and knowledge!

Hi Christy Browning, you are already ahead off the game and 1-up on many others who are still reading books, watching videos, listing to podcast and stuck in learning mode with NO ACTION!

I just finished one half of a duplex we have and rented it in just a few weeks. The other half of the duplex just need finishing touches and it will be ready to be rented.

Multi-family units are a great way to go, I know everyone have numbers to abide by, rules to follow and strategies to use however, just as each property and areas are different, so are the investors and their individual goals. 

I use common sense, if the purchase and expenses of the property won't put me in debt, then I trust my gut and go with it. Don't get stuck in analysis paralysis, don't over think it.

Just be flexible and do what you have to do to make it work. You may not have the know-how, funds or experience right now, but jump in and you will see how everything start coming together as you are pulled beyond where you are to do more than you think you can do.

Most importantly, have fund, make money, memories and meaningful relationships that you can take along your journey.
