Newbie introduction to BiggerPockets - I live in San Diego
Hi, My name is Charles Bruckman and I am brand new to the world of real estate investing. I recently finished reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and it opened my eyes to the idea of collecting assets. Once in that mindset, I was referred to BP by a good friend of mine. Since discovering the BP website and podcast, I have been researching and listening non-stop. I figured now would be a good time to post on the forum and introduce myself.
I am mainly interested in single and multi-family homes to buy and hold to produce passive income through rent. I have been speaking with my brother about building a partnership to acquire our first property. There are many things I am still researching, such as forming an LLC, what type of loan would be best, location - San Diego or Phoenix (where my brother lives), and many more.
I am excited to be writing on this forum and I hope to connect with as many people as I can.
