New-ish BP member (former lurker) based in Mesa, AZ

[Lisa Irimata]

Hi everyone! My name's Lisa Irimata I'm a new-ish member to BP community based in Mesa, AZ. I've been lurking on the site for about a year now and decided it's finally time to start contributing and getting involved. I'm about 2 years out of college and have a BSE in Biomedical engineering, an MSE in Mechanical engineering, and currently am working as an engineer at Intel.

I purchased my current home February of 2018 (2B2B townhouse) because I got really excited at the idea of house hacking (from BP of course) and had one of my buddies from elementary school move in with me. Near the end of 2018 I converted the den into a 3rd bedroom and found a second roommate. I'm looking to purchase my first rental property this year and am excited to begin the process! Currently, I'm interested in single family homes but am looking forward to investing in multifamily housing in the future. I still feel that I'm definitely in the "knowledge acquisition phase" and have been reading a ton so I'm always looking for new recommendations!

Looking forward to getting to know you all!
