Hello everyone, my name is Johnson. I am a relative newcomer into real estate investing. Have not even owned a home. Started getting curious about Real estate investing since joining my new job about a year and a half ago. The current company I work for is a fintech startup into single family rental homes investing. 

When I joined this firm, I had practically zero knowledge about real estate investing and the various terms used, for e.g. IRR etc :)

The past few months I have had a tug in my heart to try my hand at real estate investing, primarily with the following two goals:

1. Financial freedom

2. More free time and resources to serve other people.

I came across Biggerpockets just a week ago while listening to another financial podcast. Unfortunately, I already paid some money to a real estate coaching company for being trained in the various aspects of Real estate investing such as Flipping, wholesaling etc. Kicking myself in the foot for not reading through some of the articles on Biggerpockets before spending the money on the Jump Start course.

My goal is to get into real estate investing, but maybe start low key such as with passive investing.

Hope I can contribute positively to this group

Johnson,

Fremont, CA
