Newbie from Brentwood, California

[Rumi Velazquez]

Hello fellow BP Members!  I recently re-joined as a Pro member after being inspired by the BP podcast and webinar, and this is my first post.  I am a budding investor looking to buy-and-hold out-of-state properties in Missouri and Nevada.  My short-term goal is to close on four out-of-state rental properties in 2020, and my long-term goal is to replace my current W-2 with passive and business income.  My primary inspiration is my two teenage boys -- they inspire me everyday to become a better version of myself.  My professional inspiration comes from all of you who are currently thriving from real estate investments, speaking, writing, blogging, podcasting, teaching, coaching -- all the things I would love to do in the future!  I am so excited to be a part of this group and to learning from all of you!   

In terms of next steps, I would love to connect with local (SF Bay Area) investors for knowledge-sharing, and with St. Louis/ Kansas City investors/realtors/property managers for building my portfolio to start (but also considering Las Vegas for proximity).   

I look forward to connecting with many of you!
