Newbie investor here, from California. Hello All!

[Ralph Naval]

Greetings to All and Happy New Year!

My name is Ralph Naval and I'm new to the REI world but very excited to be joining the BP family. I stumbled onto BiggerPockets as part of my journey to grow my knowledge in this industry and could not be more thankful for all the info and good people found here.

A little about myself: I work as a pharmaceutical chemist in Orange County and live in LA County. I enjoy spending my free time hiking, hanging with friends and reading.

My immediate goal is to live in a small multi family and practice “landlord-ing” and property management. In 2 years or less, I want to generate enough rental income to replace the work income of my girlfriend (soon to be wife) and create our ideal situation for raising a family.

That’s all for now, so thanks for taking the time to hear me out (hope my post wasn’t too long!). I look forward to connecting with you all and wish you all the best. Thanks!
