Aspiring Real Estate Investor in Victorville, CA

[Brian V.]

Hi, my name is Brian Varbel, and I'm a homeowner in Victorville, CA. I'm looking to buy my first rental property locally or even out of state. I'm very interested in the BRRRR method. I have been studying real estate investing for 20 years, but never pulled the trigger except for 1 house I bought at a discount from a motivated seller 20 years ago, and another house I picked up after the 2008 housing crash that I live in now that has appreciated significantly in 10 years.

Now I'm focused. I am in the process of finding a team of people to work with.  My goal is to do 1 deal in the next 3 to 6 months. I realize that the first deals are so important to the learning curve. Sometimes it feels like a huge leap of faith, and that's a challenge to overcome. 

I hope to connect with some like-minded people here on Bigger Pockets.
