Newbbb - Phoenix/Tempe/Scottsdale, AZ

[AJ Barber]

Wassup Bigger Pockets Fam! My name is AJ Barber and I'm excited to be apart of this community. I'm from Cali but I currently reside in Phoenix, AZ. I put Tempe and Scottsdale because as an entrepreneur I'm wherever I need to be. I currently run an Airbnb business in Tempe but I would say I'm still new to real estate investing. 

I started this business in March of this year under my property management company, Blue Moon Management. I was on FIRE until the 'Rona came and overstayed it's welcome! lol. Anyways, I currently have (1) apartment unit under my business' control but the plan was to scale to as many units as possible, build an in-house cleaning crew and just see where the journey would take me. I'm still learning about finances and am still interested in other real estate investing opportunities. I have learned a lot even with just managing one unit but I'm not sure if the Airbnb/rental arbitrage method is my niche. 

I love everything about real estate so I make it a point listen to podcasts, read books, watch interviews, attend real estate events, etc but I don't want to get stuck in analysis paralysis so I'm hoping to provide value to the Bigger Pockets Fam and also gain some hands-on experience. 

I tried my best to fill out my profile but feel free to message me or leave a comment. I look forward to our success! :)
