New Soon To Be Investor in San Jose

[Andrew Gaynor]

Hello Everyone at Bigger Pockets,

My name is Andrew Gaynor, and I am new to the real estate investing world, for a while I have been interested in real estate investing but never made any attempts to actually make a meaningful change, I'm excited to say I made the commitment to myself to get started, I have recently made it my mission to own a property by next year! So I've decided to soak up as much information as possible and burn the midnight oil until I can get my foot in the door in Real Estate investing.

A little introduction, I work in the medical field as a radiologic technologist and have served in the United States Army so I know that the VA home loan is a surefire way to get into investing with little to no money down, with that being said I am also in California which makes it more difficult than most other states in regards to finding good deals or fairly priced homes. I also have 2 under 2 which is very hectic but is one of the reasons I yearn for financial freedom to spend more time with my kids and family. Anybody who wants to connect or has any advice I am all ears and listening, I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me and although I know it will be challenging I know I can count on Bigger Pockets to point me in the right direction and lead me to success!

I thank you all for taking the time to read this and any feedback would be much appreciated, I hope to hear from the Bigger Pockets community soon!

Respectfully,

Andrew Gaynor, RT(R)
