BiggerPockets Introduction, New Investor

[John K.]

Good evening to everyone on BiggerPockets,

My name is John Kenyon and I am a Police Officer in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am also a new investor, whom has been trying to educate myself about investing. I have been reading several investment books, viewing the listed resources on BiggerPockets, and obtaining knowledge from other investors.

I have determined I am mostly interested in multi-family residences, using a buy & hold strategy, BRRR, or a hybrid version. I am also interested and willingly to invest out of state.

I would love to network with other investors and learn as much as I can. I am looking forward to developing myself with the BiggerPockets Community.

-Thank You
