Adam Barlow Introduction... It's nice to meet you :)
I am a new member of Bigger Pockets, and it's a pleasure to meet everyone!
I am 33yrs old, and I've been living in San Francisco for the past 8 years. My primary goal is to become financially free at 37, and I know I can do this through investing and discipline! The BRRR strategy resonated with me. I would ideally apply that strategy to single-family homes to start, then transition to multi-family properties. My markets of focus are San Francisco / Bay Area, Cleveland, Saint Louis, Reno, and Indianapolis.
I work in tech, and I love it, but real estate has always peeked my interest, so finding out about BP has been one of the best things to ever happen to me. From this community, I heard about "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and read this book about six times while on paternity leave :). It has completely changed the way I view the world.
The past couple of months I've been trying to learn as much as I can about the real estate industry. Bigger Pockets forms, blogs, books, and podcasts have been my primary source of information, and I've enjoyed every minute of it while learning a lot. From my research, I have narrowed down what markets, type of property and strategy I want to pursue. (As I mentioned above.)
I am very excited to meet everyone and to learn from your experiences. I'm extremely curious to learn about what works, what doesn't and how to consistently be successful. I can't wait to get to meet all of you! Now I'm at the point where I'm ready (aka as ready as I'll ever be) to get started.
