Hello BiggerPockets community!

[Anthony Warren]

Hey everyone!

My name is Anthony Warren, and I am a real estate investor in training. I have been listening to the podcasts for about 2 months and am reading every source of content I can manage to get my hands on. There is so much to learn and it is a very exciting time in my life to take the plunge into the water. I am not necessarily new to BP, but let's just say reborn as a member. I had a profile when I worked at a wholesale brokerage in Dallas before moving to the Midwest a couple of summers ago. I really took for granted what the site was and really what I was doing. I had a crash course in real estate from a non traditional sense and I parted ways with what I was doing because I didn't feel as if it were the right fit for me at the time. Move forward to 2018 (Wow it's 2018 y'all!) and I find myself on my third deployment with the Army national guard, yes we do get deployed! I have high expectations, but don't let my expectation setting fool you. Now that I am a few years older and my wife and I share the vision it is so much more clear what we want in life. I now see the missing ingredient with so many failed attempts is ACTION. My goal for 2018 first and foremost is to create action. With the wheel turning I have then set my sight to buy a duplex for a house hack. I will have around $40K to work with for another deal. I plan to either go the route of FHA or VA financing for the house hack and put the other $40K to use toward something else. I think it would be a very plausible goal to say that by 2019 I would like to own 3-4 units (the duplex and one other property.) I am open to networking and learning from anyone who has valuable information along my journey and I truly look forward to learning, growing, and meeting some of you at some point in my journey. Aside from that I hope that one day I can help someone on here and give back in some way. Thank you all for your time in getting to know me and I look forward to hearing from and any and everyone that will reach out!

Here's to 2018 a year of growth and learning.
