Hello all. I meant to get this new member post up earlier, but life got pretty busy with the recent birth of my first child, so here it is (better late than never!):
My name is Keith Tidwell, and I am a newbie to the real estate investing community (introduced to it by the very informative BP podcast). I am an executive compensation attorney in San Francisco, CA, and originally from Louisville, KY. I live in the East Bay with my wife, our newborn baby girl and dog.
I recently became interested in real estate investing (specifically, buy-and-hold rental properties) after stumbling across the BP podcast and reading the ever-popular book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I joined BP to further enhance my knowledge in this space before jumping on my first deal. I am currently reading David Greene’s long-distance investing book because, like David, I find the CA market to be too rich (read: overpriced) for my investing efforts. I am currently focused on getting a system in place for my long-distance investment plans (currently targeting single-family and small multi-family properties in my hometown of Louisville, KY). My goal is to have a business structure and some go-to contacts in place in the next few weeks so that I can hit the ground running once I find that first deal.
Please feel free to drop me a line if you have experience in the above. I am always open to meeting like-minded individuals!
Happy Investing,
