Getting Going in RI: The Path to Grow Big Wealth in a Small State

[Warren West]

Hi Everyone,

I'm pretty new to everything Real Estate Investing.  I'm turning 29 in a week and want to own a house before I hit the dirty thirty.  Have spent my life thinking more about stocks, bonds, and ETFs for investing in my future.  Over the past few months I have been looking into buying a house and along the way realized how well RE Investing (done right) can be used to grow wealth.

Currently I am on the search for a multi-family in Rhode Island for a househack.  From there I hope to grow my portfolio and would like to have 5 properties in the next 5 years.  My background is in marketing and bartending, along with years of random part time jobs.  I have my bachelors in Marketing from Johnson & Wales University.  Much more of the analytical minded side of things which is where the analysis part of RE intrigues me.  So far I love plugging in numbers and hypotheticals to see the profitibility of listings I see.

If anyone has any advice for a new investor or is in the RI area and would like to connect I would be more than happy to.  I have always been of the mind that knowledge is power so I try to absorb as much of it from as many different sources as possible, and since experience is the best teacher those of you who have been in this field already have likely seen many potential issues I may come across.

I look forward to connecting, chatting, and possibly meeting some of you.  Happy hunting!

-Warren

@Warren West as many mentioned above the RIREIG is fantastic and since you won't be able to go tonight, I just wanted to mention that they have a beginner's class this Saturday, May 18th from 9am-12pm. I will definitely be there and it could be a good class for you too attend as a beginner yourself. Great networking opportunity!
