Hello! My name is April and currently a senior in college soon to graduate soon.
I was doing research about investing and discovered real estate investing. I was relieved to figure out the best time to start investing is as soon as possible, fearing I might be to young. I don't have a background in real estate or family that works in the real estate sector but I am happy to learn regardless. My goal to own multi-family home properties and landlord was inspired by Brandon Turner's blog which can be found here:
My fiancé and I live in Oxnard as well. I recommend attending the Ventura County Real Estate Investors Club in Thousand Oaks, which can be found on meetup.com I'm still very new myself, but feel free to reach out any time. Talk to you soon.
Glad to have you aboard the BP train with us. As you will find if you haven't already learned this is a magnificent site to network, teach and learn in all facets of real estate investing. Hopefully you will bring your goals to fruition and have a great holiday season. Happy and prosperous investing.
