Newbie from Mesa, AZ

[Christene B.]

Hi! I'm a newbie investor based in Mesa, AZ (Greater Phoenix area). I've very recently become interested in real estate investing because of financial planning. After thinking about financial goals and wanting to be able to achieve financial freedom, it seemed real estate investing would be the best course of action to reach our family goals. 

I'm only a month into learning about real estate investing--I'm listening to the BP podcast, the Rookie podcast, and a handful of others. I'm also trying to read as much as much as possible. Since I don't have a lot of time to put in the sweat equity, I'm interested in single family rental properties that don't need a lot of work (or none at all). We're in the process of saving up money right now while I continue to educate myself. The plan is to find a property where we can house hack and then rent our current home out. 

Very excited to be here to learn and grow!
