Nice to meet you Ben! I'm just starting out myself but over in Arizona. Although I don't have any heavy-hitting investment tips, if you ever have any insurance-related questions about a property, don't hesitate to reach out!

Nice to meet you Thivya! Although I don't have any leads on parking spaces, I figured I'd welcome you since I'm new here too!

Hey Everyone/BiggerPockets!

I've been listening to the podcast obsessively over the past 2-3 weeks and decided after over a year of studying that I need to start connecting with the community.

Context about me - I'm Tyler, a homeowner at 21 as of January (22yr now), Husband to a beautiful wife, and Proud father to my now 2-month-old baby boy. I work full-time as an investor-friendly property insurance agent in all 50 states and have been starting to become more obsessed with wanting to build a ridiculously large portfolio for a number of reasons. 

That said, my wife is a stay-at-home mom to take care of our son due to a less-than-common start to parenthood. We reside in Surprise Arizona, and some of you may know that Arizona has taken off like wildfire, making it (or at least it appears) difficult/impossible to invest in Arizona unless having a profound amount of money. Additionally, I make good money doing what I do now, but after listening to so many hours of the podcast, I'm not sure where to get started or leverage my current situation.

(un?)Realistically I'd like to start off with a max 10-15k out of pocket on a brrr somewhere in the valley but I'm starting to think this is unreasonable and that my vision of my portfolio is farther out than I envisioned. 

Anyhow! Struggles aside, I figured the only way I'm gonna see a difference is by meeting & connecting with you amazing people!

Other places you can reach me & meet my amazing family -
