Newbie investor from Boise, ID
Hello BP Nation!
My name is Sean Thompson. I am a new investor living in beautiful Boise Idaho with my wife, dog, and in 6 months our first kiddo! We finished our first investment property in May 2020 by converting our single family dwelling into a duplex (legally), and are currently house hacking the property. My goal with real estate is to provide financial independence and security for my family. Our short term goal is to start simply by buying a single family home either here in Boise, or another market we have pegged in the next 6 months.
I would love to connect with as many people passionate about real-estate as I can. Also we have also navigated the waters of working with the planning and zoning, and some experience with contractors. I have a full time job in a different industry however would just like to become more involved in real estate because I enjoy it. Look forward to connecting with everyone.
Thanks,
Sean
