Hello bigger pockets! This is my first post on BP. I just wanted to introduce myself tell you a little about what my plans for the future are. My name is Hyke Grigorian. I live in Boston, MA. After doing some research on BP and reading a few books, I am ready to introduce myself to all the great resources that I can find on this website. I will tell you right away that I am not ready to invest into real estate at the moment, but I know that it is going to be a big part of my future. So at the current moment, the way I see it is the more I can learn now, the better. Why wait? Right? If some are willing to share their experiences of how they got started, that would greatly be appreciated. I am always looking for advice on the best ways to approach banks or hard money lenders for loans, or even key things to take into consideration while looking at a property. Any advice is great. I know all this may sound vague and I know i am very young and inexperienced at the age of 24, but I have always been ambitious in life. I started my own moulding manufacturing company a year ago and that has been, and continues to be a great learning experience in itself. To be honest, that experience, along with working in the electrical trade, are what inspired me to start learning about real estate investment. I eventually got tired of seeing people paying me to fix up their houses that they had bought to rent out. My moulding company was a great way to network with contractors and people that I already knew since moulding are commonly changed in renovations and it was a good start for the business, but now I am ready to learn more and push myself towards being an investor myself. As far as actual plans go, as I mentioned, I don't know much. I have a basic understanding of real estate terminology and I know when I am actually ready to invest, I would like to buy a multi-family. Other than that, I am still learning. Thanks for reading and I hope to speak with many of you!
