Hi all,

Happy to be a new member of this community, after stumbling across the site a few weeks ago. It is hard to believe a site like BP even exists - a massive wealth of free resources for a newb like me, along with a supportive community willing to share their experience.

My day job is in film production - I've been with Lucasfilm in San Francisco for close to a decade. But I've always had an interest in real estate investing and have seen first-hand how passive streams of income can be truly liberating. I would not have been able to pursue film in an expensive city like SF had it not been for real estate investments made by grandfather many years ago. They have made a huge impact on my family and it is that type of impact I'm hoping to make now for my children (2 and 1 yr old) and future grandchildren.

I am trying to learn as much as I can about the industry in my free time. Drawn to SFR and MFR out-of-state at the moment. Ideally as passive as possible so the turnkey option w/ PM is definitely appealing. Starting to analyze deals and see what feels right. Hope to connect with some of you in the future!

Morgan
