New Member - Multifamilies - Rochester, NY

[Jacob Thorp]

Good afternoon! I am new to the forum but not to BiggerPockets. I have three of Brandon's books (The Book on Investing, Managing, and Investing with No/Low money down) and have been listening to his podcasts for about a year and a half now. ABOUT ME: I am a recent college graduate, member of the Army National Guard, and am very passionate about helping people. I have a BA in Catholic Theology from St. John Fisher College and work there now as a full time Media Support Specialist. I love my job but want to free up my time through real estate to work more with charities. I am the director of the Towpath Volunteers Fife and Drum Corps and love to travel around the country and world with the band. GOAL: Invest in small multifamilies in the suburbs/city area of Rochester and self manage until I can replace earned income with passive income from real estate (approx $50,000/yr) to move into a second career path. I do not own any property at this time but I've been doing my homework to be as prepared as I can be for when I get started. I want to own a property or two in the next 12 months. Cannot wait to get started!
