Hello everyone,
Just a little bit about me: I just turned 39, have a wife and 2 kids, have worked as a Pipefitter/Pipe welder for about 18 years now, and currently work for the water district for the East Bay area in California. I make 6 figures a year here. I live in the Northeastern outskirts of the Bay Area as well. Just finished my major in Business Management and am receiving my Management and Supervision certificate this summer.
I've been studying real estate for a few years now, have watched tons of videos, calculated and ran numbers on numerous properties and listings, and talked with many lenders and real estate agents, but because I don't have anyone in my circle that's well-experienced in REI's I've hesitated to pull the trigger on anything.
I'm looking to fix and flip, BRRR, LTR, MTR, STR, or multi-family. I don't currently own a home yet, so my thoughts were to buy a duplex and live in one side and rent out the other, or stay in my current rental while I set up other investment properties. Either way, I really want a mentor for guidance and advice, and I'm willing to give something in return, whatever that may be.
Thank you all in advance!
Sorry if this was too lengthy!
