Long Distance Investor from Long Beach, CA

[Joey Shanahan]

Hi everyone, My name is Joey Shanahan. I am a Registered Dietitian that works in hospital food service as a Director of Food & Nutrition. I am currently trying to educate myself as much as I can before I jump into buying my first property. I would like to invest in SFR's, MFR's, and possibly small apartment complexes using the BRRRR strategy in a market not yet determined (want to decide on a market soon!). My ultimate goal would be to be able to step away from my current job by the time I'm 40 so I can spend more time with my kids and wife.

Looking forward to connecting with people and eventually growing my team in the market I end up choosing to invest.

@Andrew Rosenberg I was thinking about areas like Arizona, Texas, and Reno, NV because of semi-proximity. I do have family in Chicago area and Cleveland that I was also thinking about because of boots on the ground with knowledge of neighborhoods. I am currently finishing “The Book on Rental Property Investing” @Brandon Turner and “Long Distance Real Estate Investing” by David Green. I have also seen a couple of your recent YouTube episodes of “Dream Investor Adventure” and that has been a cool straightforward example of someone starting.

I know I definitely just need to make a decision and go for it.
