New to BP from sunny San Diego, CA. Looking to help & get help.

[Oscar Miguel]

Hello everyone on BP, thank you for visiting my post.

I come cut from the same cloth as many of you out here.  I had a hard youth but I didn't know how rough it was until I got older.  I do appreciate where I come from, it's taught me perseverance, grit and the art of the collaboration.

When I married and had my son, I went a little overboard with the "be a provider" mindset.  Fast forward 15 years and I'm starting to realize there's more to this long crazy ride we call life.  I've taken small steps to diversify what I do, including creating a social media presence to begin sharing some of my videography and drone skills.

Currently, I fixed up a single family home which is on the market and I have a duplex that's been a great investment. But, I am severely a rookie and am going through some major analysis paralysis. I just can't seem to find the way to make a move towards BRRR. San Diego is very difficult and a little scary.

I hope I get to make many valuable friendships from like-minded individuals.   Who knows, hopefully, one day I can help one of you with either a lead or referral or who knows!

Thank you and please feel free to forward any information to help me jump into BRRR'ing.

Cheers!

Oscar
