New BP member introduction

Christian De Jesus

Hello everyone, my name is Christian Delgado and I live in Arlington, VA. I am a young professional who very recently realized that I am now closer to 30 than I am to 21. This realization transformed my way of thinking about money, life, and investing. As a consequence I am now focused on investing to create long-term value and, if possible, trying to retire early or at least transition from working for a big company to working for myself.

My goal is to diversify my income streams and start investing. To this purpose I am looking to invest, start a new business, and network with like minded professionals. Currently I have no savings, but I finally paid off my credit cards, so I can finally start saving around $1k/month and start building from there.

A little bit of background: I have a bachelors and masters in economics with a strong focus in statistics. I have had three jobs worth mentioning. My first job out of school was at the federal reserve bank where I built, tested, and validated forecasting models of the economy. My second job was at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business where I performed quantitative academic research on business strategy. My third and present job is at a big four company doing analytics consulting. I mention this because I'd like to find an area of real estate investing where I can apply this skill set.

Thank you for reding my post. I look forward to meeting the community and sharing knowledge with everyone.
