I'm new, I'm scared of risk, but I dream of Financial Freedom!

[Stephen Tanquary]

Hey BP Community, not sure how introductions are supposed to look, but here I go!

I'm 25 years old, I've been married to my wife, Stephanie, for about 6 months, and I'm a newbie real estate investor living in Fullerton/Orange County, CA. For the past year I've been listening to the BP podcasts and reading books/articles, but I haven't taken any action! I know myself well enough to understand that I will be the guy who reads every real estate book/article in existence, listens to every BP podcast 4 times, and out of fear, do NOTHING. 

I told my wife at the beginning of 2019 that we would purchase our first investment property by the end of the year, and luckily for me, she will hold me too that! I've been a BP member since Jan 2018, and I'm finally posting my introduction. I'm ready to pick up some steam and achieve financial freedom so that can stop trading my most precious asset, TIME, for money, and instead spend it how I want!
