Hello, Bigger Pockets!
Hello, Bigger Pockets!
My name is Jack and I’m completely new to the world of Real Estate Investing.
A quick about me - I grew up in the California Bay Area and until recently have been working in a tech company in San Francisco. With Covid-19, I’ve spent significant time questioning what I’m truly interested in, envisioning the life I want to live, and the wealth I want to provide for myself and future family. I then remembered my mom talking about Bigger Pockets for most of my life - which I completely ignored until now. Then the lightbulb lit up and I am now open, no, 100% committed to real estate investing and creating financial freedom.
With this commitment, my first step has been to learn the foundational knowledge of real estate opportunities and basic best practices. In the past month, I have read Set for Life, Rich Dad Poor Dad (for the second time), The House Hacking Strategy, How to Invest in Real Estate, Buy Rehab Rent Refinance Repeat, Richest Man in Babylon, and Long-Distance Real Estate Investing.
It is great to meet all of you and I’m excited to learn and grow together.
Cheers,
Jack
