San Francisco Bay Area Investor Introduction : Ryan Lawler

[Ryan L.]

Hey all!

I am a new investor to the real estate industry and am looking to get my feet wet with Long Distance Real Estate Investing. I am 24 years old and am working in the tech industry in the SF Bay Area. One of my goals is to build generational wealth for my family and I believe that is best accomplished through real estate buy and hold. I am looking to leverage the extra cash I make from the wealthy Bay Area, as well as family connections that I am lucky to have.

Some of the initial areas I am targeting are

• Phoenix, Arizona
• Tulsa, Oklahoma
• San Antonio, Texas

I have read through David Greene's Long Distance Real Estate Investing and am looking to read his other book Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat: The BRRRR Rental Property Investment Strategy Made Simple next. If you have any other suggestions for good reads, please let me know!

I am looking to create professional connections with everyone, regardless of the area you are in. 

• I have been in the SF Bay Area for a long time and know the area well (went to school in Berkeley, live in San Francisco, work in South Bay) and can help provide any advice for those looking to invest here.
• I also grew up in Southern California and have extensive knowledge of the Orange County area.

I am also looking for all recommendations and referrals from realtors to contractors.

Looking forward to meeting you!
