New Member from Phoenix, Arizona Looking to Develop REI Strategy
Hi! My name is Martin and I've been living in the Phoenix area aka, “The Valley” for almost 10 years. Even before I moved here from my home state of Michigan, I've been renting. I currently live in a rental with my wife and newborn daughter.
I currently work in the commercial building industry as a licensed Architect. Like many others, I've been looking for additional avenues in which to gain financial independence so that I might have more time to spend with my growing family.
I’ve always been aware of real estate investing as a wealth generation vehicle, but I was always uncertain if it was one within my reach. I discovered BiggerPockets when I started doing YouTube searches on the topic.
I've since realized that financial independence may be attainable through real estate investing and I'm currently learning as much as I can while putting together a strategy forward towards my goals. I'm considering wholesaling to build some capital to then get into flipping and eventually SFH rentals.
At almost 40 years old, I feel as though I’m getting a bit of a late start and my desire is to be aggressive, but smart. I would like to make my first deal within the next six months.
