Path to financial freedom and escaping the rat race !
Hello All, new member who's been reading and self-educating through BP for several weeks and I believe BP could be my ticket out of the rat race ! 28 years old in Ohio looking to learn the game and become financially free through RE investing. Buy and Hold small multifamily rentals is what I'm currently interested in. Hello !

Hi Brandon and welcome to BP! I can relate to your goal of leaving the "rat race" and pursuing your passion for RE Investing. All of my education, research and experience have led me toward commercial real estate investing, with a specific focus on Multi-Family. The benefits can be incredible and the opportunity to work in a niche that is a win-win for both investors/sponsors and renters alike is even more rewarding. I’m happy to share my experience if you have any questions.
Good luck!
Melinda
