Newbie from New Jersey looking to invest in KC
Hello BP community!
My name is Alex Vlamis. Like many people here I read Rich Dad Poor Dad not that long ago and realized I've been doing it wrong for quite some time. I work on Wall Street in the mortgage securities business, structuring bonds for single family and LIHTC deals. I have an MBA in finance and am a CFA charterholder. Born and raised in NJ, and looking to get started by investing in the Kansas City suburbs.
I joined BiggerPockets to meet and learn from other investors and build up a network of agents, lenders, property managers and so forth. My ultimate goal is to be financially free by forty. I hope to achieve this with buy and hold cash flowing rentals. I am shooting to have 2-3 properties within the next year. I am primarily looking to get started in Independence, Blue Springs, and Lee's Summit suburbs of Kansas City and am looking to rent to young families. Anyway, I am looking forward to getting to know some of the community and am excited to dive into this next chapter of my life!
Regards,
Alex
