Hello All! I'm a green horn to real estate investing looking to pick up some helpful tips and tricks from the community to help me get started. I've always been intrigued with real estate investing so I'm finally getting to a position where I can pull the trigger. I'm looking to learn from others that have taken the landlord approach on either SFH or MFH as their first acquisitions and what are some of the pitfalls to look out for.

My background, I'm an Army Veteran that left that world to seek out new opportunities as a civilian. After getting an MBA from SFSU, I found myself in sales, now sharing my expertise as a sales trainer for a SaaS company in Mountain View, CA. I'm married with an energetic 3.5yo daughter and an 11.5yo English bulldog. My interests are in single family homes and multiple family homes that I hold for several years to get a solid ROI before really expanding my portfolio.

I welcome your tips and tricks and look forward to learning more from each of you as I submerge myself in this bank of knowledge.
