From Manufacturing to Multifamily: My Journey Toward Real Estate Freedom

[Josh Roberts]

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to join this community as I take my first serious steps into the world of real estate investing. For as long as I can remember, real estate has been a dream of mine the idea of owning property, building thriving communities, and giving back to others just as others have helped me in the past. My ultimate mission is to achieve financial freedom while making a meaningful impact through my investments.

I currently work as an electrician in the manufacturing industry, but I’m determined to build a real estate portfolio that allows me to stop punching anyone else’s clock. In 2024, my wife and I purchased a new-construction single-family home, which we currently live in. Over time, I plan to convert it into a rental property as I expand my portfolio and move into our dream home.

Recently, I completed How to Invest in Real Estate and purchased Invest in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down and The BRRRR Strategy, which I've already started reading. My plan is to use the BRRRR strategy to grow my portfolio, with the long-term goal of acquiring apartment buildings.

I know this journey can feel overwhelming, especially at the start, but I bring a relentless drive, strong work ethic, and an unshakable hustle. Since committing to this path by joining this community and investing in educational resources I’ve been eating, breathing, and sleeping real estate knowledge. I’m here to learn from those with experience, to seek guidance, and to connect with others who share the same passion.

I’d love to hear your stories, suggestions, ideas, or any educational advice that can help me achieve my goals. I’m looking forward to learning, growing, and contributing to this amazing community.

Thank you, and I look forward to connecting with you all!
