New Minneapolis Investor Looking to Network & Learn

[Anthony Vargas]

Hello BiggerPockets!

My name is Anthony Vargas. I am a 25 year old young professional, living in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro Area and I am looking to dip my hand into the Real Estate word.

I currently work a W-2 job as a full-time actuary in my firm’s Enterprise Risk Management Department, mainly working with our Derivative Hedging Implementation Team to eliminate equity and interest rate risk. While this career path has been exciting, I do not plan on being an actuary forever and am looking to Real Estate to eventually become my main venture and source of income.

I will be purchasing my first home with my fiancé in Spring 2020, but aim to have enough cash to consider a rental property purchase by late 2020 or early 2021.

My primary goal at the moment is to network, learn as much as I can, and equip myself with the skills needed to be successful in the real estate world. Looking forward to interacting with you all and joining you in this journey!

@Anthony Vargas I suppose we all are born with a little of that! My husband doesn't love real estate but he's grown to love the opportunities it can provide. For us, no mortgage has equaled more travel which has been a great trade-off. Although I'm pretty sure the words, property management, gives him nightmares.
