New Member - Bay Area, CA / Rochester, NY

[Whitney McClary]

Greetings - My name is Whitney McClary. I currently work in San Francisco for a tech company in business development/sales. I have been educating myself through the podcast, forums and books the past couple of months and thankful to be a member of the BP community. I feel like I have a good foundational knowledge to start taking action and make my first purchase this year. Really funny being at this point, as my father has been in landlord for 20+ years and I swore as a kid I would never get into the business :).

I am looking to purchase 1-2 multi-families in the Rochester, NY area as buy and hold investments. I still have strong roots there and will be a much easier market to enter than the Bay. Ultimately I plan to relocate back to NY so that is additional reasoning behind my choice.

I am an avid learner of personal development and view real estate investing as a great strategy to not only become financially free but also optimize my skills and impact on this world. Music and fitness are additional passions of mine.

I look forward to contributing and networking with this community. I am extremely grateful to get started on this journey with this great resource. Any and all suggestions for a newbie are welcome. Would love to meet up with anyone in the Bay Area or Rochester, when I am back that way.

Cheers,
Whitney
