Aspiring Investor from Central California

[Tyler Groom]

My name is Tyler Groom and I live in Visalia, CA. I have always loved real estate but always thought that I needed a bunch of cash to get started in Real Estate Investing. After reading Brandon's books and listening to podcasts and youtube videos I am more eager than ever to get started. I purchased my primary residence with my wife when I was 25 years old and have it on a 15 year mortgage at 3%. I feel like the central valley has some opportunity for some cash flow properties, but I haven't found one since I started looking like a month ago. Part of what I love about real estate investing is the hunt for the properties and analyzing the numbers to see what will work. At this point I am debating whether I want to purchase a small multi-family or a single family to rent or the alternative is to buy a new primary residence and rent out our current residence, but with a one month old baby, a four year and a wife the thought of moving is a little overwhelming right now, so the jury is still out on what I want to do. I just met a local lender who also is an investor and have started the process of getting pre-approved for either a new home for us or an investment property. I look forward to learning from everyone on here and making lots of new friends and mentors. Thanks for creating this amazing site.
