Hello BP community!
I am a few weeks into researching real estate investing and wanted to introduce myself! I currently work for a healthcare IT company in an analyst role and have been working from home in that capacity for just over 2 years now. I also moved from South Carolina to Connecticut 2 years ago, so lots of stuff going on!
My husband and I have been talking for a while about ways to increase our cashflow so we can retire early and travel the world together. We were both burned (separately) with the 2008 crash and houses we couldn't sell for what we paid for them so we were hesitant to jump into real estate. However, when my husband came across BP the advantages couldn't be ignored!
We have gone through several iterations of our plan: short term vacation rentals -> single family rentals -> multi-family buy and hold BRRRR. It is difficult trying to figure out the best 'entry' strategy into the real estate investing game. Especially for an engineer who likes to take a long time to make decisions (husband) and an analytical person who wants to know exactly how to do everything perfectly before attempting (me). My goal with BP is to learn as much as I possibly can about the business and to grow a network I can rely on for help and advice as needed. So far it seems that BP is great at helping others in the community out with advice!
I look forward to learning with you and from you!
