new guy from washington state, excited to learn

[Braeden Cook]

Hey everyone,

  I'm a nurse practitioner by trade, and while I love my job, I don't love the time constraints and that I work 5 days a week just to get 2 off. I'd much rather it be the other way around. I've decided that I will no longer accept this and will do what I need to in order to create the lifestyle that I want for my family. I'm still trying to figure out my strategy, but I'm leaning towards focusing on passive income through small multifamily investing and would love to work my way up to apartments. Turnkey properties are particularly interesting, especially as a new investor.

   Also want to say how excited I am to be here and to have reached a point where I feel like I am finally ready to take action on something I've thinking about (real estate) for many years. I've been listening to podcasts, reading articles, and browsing the forums and have learned so much from everyone already. What once seemed so daunting has started to feel more doable. I went ahead and bought the PRO membership as a way to hold my feet to the fire and actually take action. I'm also amazed at how helpful everyone is in the forums. I assumed the experienced investors would be eating the young, but everyone genuinely seems to want to see others succeed.

  Anyways, just wanted to say hi and I'm looking forward to learning from everyone. I'm in central Washington state and would love to get in touch with anyone wanting to talk real estate locally or OOS.
