New member from Pittsburgh, PA

[Daniel C.]

Hi all,

I've technically been a BP member for ~6 months, but am just now starting to take advantage of the forums here. I'm 27, married, live in Pittsburgh, and work in finance. I love my day job, so I'm not trying to escape the "rat race" per se, but am building a real estate portfolio on the side - because it's fun, and who doesn't want financial independence?

I currently own 2 units (both SFH, purchased within the last year), and am about to close on a deal that will bring 7 more (tri-plex and a quad-plex) into my portfolio - really excited about closing on a bigger deal, but of course I'm holding my breath, realizing that "I don't know what I don't know." It'll be an adventure and hopefully I'll make good money!

In terms of goals - haven't strictly defined them yet. I'm tip-toeing my way into this space - if I'm able to make this thing work, I plan to continue building my portfolio as resources allow. Anyway - happy to be here, great to "meet" you all, and I look forward to connecting on the forums.

Best,

Dan
