welcome to BP @Tristan.  I am new to BP myself,  looking to go down a similar path as you with wanting to get into multifamily units.  One thing I would recommend is taking the time to reach out to people using the networks feature. It will ny default list members according to distance.  I've reached out to a few people close to my area and even though I am fairly new to this as well, I have never been rejected from a conversation at all.  Everybody on BP is very welcoming to Sharing their and hearing yours.  Also, by using the events tab, I have found a free meetup event I'll be attending on Thursday about 5 miles from where I stay.  I hope you find success as you begin your journey. Meet as many people as you can on here.  Not only will they be potential future advisors, lenders or partners, but friends that will have your actual interest in mind as experienced veterans who will give you unbiased opinions and advice.

I appreciate the advice Kim. I will definitely look to reach out and network. I have already talked to some people and they have all been very welcoming and willing to help. Best of luck on your path and keep me posted on your journey as well!

Hello, BP community!

My name is Tristan and I am from the Silver Spring, MD area (about 10 miles outside of Washington, D.C.). I currently work in sales for an education tech company and got introduced to real estate within the past year or so at my previous job as a mortgage banker. Shortly after speaking to a Real Estate Investor last summer, I was told to look up BP and absolutely loved the idea of Financial Independence through real estate. From there on, I was convinced that Real Estate was my ticket to live the life that I wanted to live and to eventually escape the "rat race". 

After listening to several BP podcasts multiple times and reading recommended books during the Famous Four, I decided to take action earlier this year. I have been visiting Multi-Family homes in the Baltimore, MD area over the past month or two in hopes of finding the perfect house-hack opportunity. I think I may have came across a great find and met two contractors at the property today and will be meeting one more tomorrow! I'm pretty excited and thought today would be the day that I actually add a profile picture and get active on BP since I've been a member since October lol. 

Hope to make some great connections and thanks in advance!
