Newbie investor from San Mateo, California

[Allan Pilapil]

My name is Allan pilapil and I’m a 24 year old newbie investor from San Mateo California! ( Bay Area )

I made it my life mission to own real estate after being evicted many times as a child and seeing my family struggle

I bought my first SFR in Stockton CA two months ago and I house hack it at below market rents to young hard working individuals. I'm going to buy a multi family next and eventually pivot into commercial real estate

My goal is to save, save, and save while learning and surrounding myself with positive and ambitious people. And of course help and provide value to those around me

I love surrounding myself with people who have had a hard past but have managed to beat the odds and turn all the negatives into positives!

I hope you all have a great rest of the year and please feel free to reach out!

Stay Safe and stay positive

Hi @Allan Pilapil. Your reason behind wanting to become a real investor is inspiring. You are turning what was once a challenge into a passion and using it to drive you towards your goals. It's easy to want to become the victim when we experience adversity, but it seems that you are doing the opposite. Keep up the great work.
