Aspiring Real Estate Investor Scottsdale, AZ

Hello!! I'm Christian and I'm from Pennsylvania but a resident of Arizona for over 8 years now.  I spent my 20's biking around Sedona, AZ and growing my hair out.  Now I'm 36, engaged, and using my eyes to see the financial world around me.  I graduated from college but never broke free of the restaurant industry.  Over the years I've done everything from cooking/cleaning to serving and now managing.  My job as a manager eats up 48-52 hours a week, but I have my mornings to read about real estate investing and do some online searching or driving.  I'm ready to begin my journey to financial freedom so that when my fiancee and I are parents I'll will have time to spend with my children as they grow up.  I want to be FREE of my position at restaurants for GOOD!  

I was introduced to bigger pockets on one of my first nights managing at my restaurant(after I bussed tables and ran food for 2 months finally got a promotion) A local real estate agent, super friendly guy, started chatting and he was turning me onto real estate.  He gave me his number and he guided me to the BP podcast and since I've bought "How to Invest in Real Estate" I have 65 pages left. I take my time reading a little each day, digesting the info, then spending time learning the land online and soon analyzing deals.

I know Scottsdale is a place people come to retire so I plan to look outside in the PHX area for Multi Family or Single family residence to start building equity while I work my full time job.  

I appreciate any connections that come from here and looking forward to the journey into Financial Freedom!!

Cheers!!
