Hi Everyone!

I'm Kathy -- I work in tech in SF as a software engineer making mobile apps. I don't own anything myself but I've always loved real estate (since my parents dragged me around looking a open houses when I was 8). My local market is a doozy so I read David Greene's book on long distance investing -- which brought me here! :) 

I'm here to learn, meet more people, and see how I can be helpful! (I've already gotten so much out of lurking and reading the podcasts!) My short term real estate goal is to buy a SFH before the end of the year through a turnkey provider to get my feet wet (Memphis Investments seems amazing. I'd love to hear from anyone whose worked with them!) while I research what work best for my goals of having financial independence. (My partner is interested in BRRR / I like the idea of going slightly higher end SFH and going for a combo of appreciation + positive cashflow but many seem strongly in favor of multi-tenancy for scale so I'm still figuring out where I land on that).

Thanks,

Kathy
