Newbie in Tempe, AZ!

[Brandon Tacconelli]

Hi everyone, 

I'm just now starting to use this site, so it seems like a proper introduction is in order. I'm 27 years old, and I currently rent an apartment in Tempe, Arizona. I just moved here from Boston back in August 2017. (Before that, I lived in Delaware - born and raised.)  I am starting to really like the Tempe / Phoenix area, although I can't say that I'll likely stay here forever. I am still a nomad at heart. (I fantasize constantly about buying a tiny home on wheels and roaming the country.)

Still, I have a burning desire to invest in real estate as a means of securing financial stability and a stable cash flow for myself. My long-term dream is to own a few properties that generate enough cash flow for me to live on comfortably, which would not be much!... my monthly expenses are ~$2000.

A townhome recently popped up on the market here in Tempe, and I guess you could say it's sent me past the tipping point... I've wanted to invest in real estate for a long time, but it wasn't until this moment that I thought it could actually be feasible.

I'm not yet familiar with the dynamic of this community, but it seems like a really supportive and informative environment, and I look forward to connecting with you folks! I am highly prone to analysis paralysis... so consider this post my first foot in the pool. Next step will be to determine if this townhome is actually a decent investment.

Greetings all, and happy to be here!

Brandon
