New Member Introduction

[Michael Schaper]

Good Evening Everyone!

My name is Michael and I am new here to BiggerPockets, REI has become a dream of mine. I started working in sales for a solar company in Arizona in April this year and I finally have a size-able amount of savings that I'm ready to invest (It's only around 30k, I know, not a lot). I'm eager to learn from some of your REI masters out there. I really want to get into the buy and hold part of REI to build long term wealth for my Wife and I. Let me introduce myself. I'm 22 years old and I have a lot of passions, but what I love to do most is travel and play sports. I am an absolute beginner when it comes to Real Estate but I am studying diligently to get started in 2019. My wife and I plan on buying 2 properties, our personal home and an investment property. My wife insists that our home come first as she is sick of Apartments lol. (Any thoughts on that by the way?) I love reading self help books especially books that actually teach you how to apply practices instead of just motivational books that make you be the best you(Except I still love those actually lol). I heard about BiggerPockets from the Audiobook on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner so I figured I should check it out. Are any of you investors here in PHX by chance? Anyways, I hope to make the most of this website as it seems to attract the right kind of people I want to meet.

Thanks,

Michael
