Tech Professional looking to get into real estate investing
Hey BiggerPockets!
My name is Carlos Feliciano, and I am a tech professional from New Jersey currently living in Oakland, CA. I've been a tech professional for seven years now, and it's a passion of mine that so happens to be my primary source of income. I am currently looking to purchase my first home with my wife next year, and during the initial research phase, I was introduced to the book Long-Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene (I figured I'd learn some new skills to build wealth during COVID).
I finished up the book and ended up ordering five other books from the Biggerpockets.com publishing company to continue down the rabbit hole of real estate investing. I saw an opportunity to create runbooks from these readings to help me better digest and apply the teachings of these excellent real estate investment practices. In infrastructure, operations, and incident management, runbooks help break down complex problems into step-by-step procedures to complete repetitive tasks. I believe this can genuinely help cut out the noise and help focus new investors on procedures and action items that push the needle forward.
I want to thank BiggerPockets for finding a stable community to invest in and educate myself. I'd like to do my part and pass on what I am currently learning in the best method I know-how, which happens to create runbooks.
I'll be writing up runbooks on all of these readings and more as I work through them over the next few months, so if you're interested in following my learning journey, using the runbooks I have created, or if you'd like to contribute, please let me know!
