New to Real Estate Investing but Ready to Jump In

[Tyler Thompson]

Hello BP! My name is Tyler and I am a young professional in SoCal! I graduated college in May of 2018 and have been working in SoCal as a sales executive for a large energy services company. I have no debt, worked all throughout college, and have saved enough capital to where I am now seriously considering jumping into real estate. 

I have always been interested and felt drawn to Real Estate as the appeal of owning a tangible piece of land has always been attractive to me. I have other investments in securities etc but the lack of control with these bothers me. I've always liked to be able to be the captain of my own ship if you know what I mean. 

I have been lurking, watching videos, reading, listening to podcasts, etc for a while now and think it is time for me to start thinking about REI a little more seriously and actually start to accomplish my goals.

As I mentioned earlier I have enough capital for a reasonable downpayment in most of the United States..... problem is that I now live in CA for work and prices are not so reasonable here. Because of this I have been pretty drawn to turnkey investing right off the bat. Having a full time job and living in a different state it just kind of seems to make the most sense for me. 

I know this post is kind of all over the place but I wanted to give a vague idea of who I am and my current position/thoughts. Looking forward to continuing to educate myself, learn more about REI, and connecting with other like minded individuals!
