Newbie from San Jose, California

[Marcus Cortez]

Hello BP!

My name is Marcus Cortez. I am excited to be apart of the community. I recently moved to San Jose but I am originally from Phoenix, Arizona. I lived in Phoenix for 18 years but moved out here right after I graduated from college. I attended Arizona State University and now I work in Supply Chain for a tech company here in the area. 

I have no prior experience in real estate but was always fascinated about it, so prepared myself in school to become familiar with the terminology and process of acquiring properties. I had seen the power of owning investment properties from family friends and like many other investors in here, I read the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and it forever changed the way I thought about life. 

I heard about bigger pockets my 3rd year into college in Northwest, Arkansas during an internship. I was talking to another intern from the North Carolina area and we were just talking real estate. He mentioned the podcast and I was forever hooked.

I hope to be able to connect with my fellow peers in here and be able to acquire my first property in a year.
