New investor introduction

[Jesse Acosta]

Hi everyone my name is Jesse, I'm 31 years old from Albuquerque, NM. I've always been interested in investing in real estate but didn't know where to start and thought I needed to have tons of money to get started. After doing a little research I found the bigger pockets podcast and website and realized I really don't, there are a lot of options to get started. I'm more interested in buying rental properties mostly multi family and single family units to gain passive income. This September I'll be taking classes to begin the process of getting my Real Estate license, my plan is keep my day job to keep getting my active income, but do real estate on the side to make extra money for investing. My goal for the next five years is to be have at least five rentals, I'm really excited to have found BP and hope to learn as much as I can to get out of my JOB and become a full time investor. Thanks.
