Hey everybody! My name is Joshua Duenas and I am 20 years old. New to real estate investing and excited to get started. Joined Bigger Pockets to learn the basics and to hear about the stories of successful investors. After listening to some of the podcasts by Bigger Pockets, I am interested in multi-family homes and the BRRRR strategy as a way to grow my wealth. I am still unsure if I should invest in the bay area or to try in another market. My overall goal in investing in real estate is to become financially independent and retire early (F.I.R.E) by the age of 30. My current goal is to buy my first investment property before the end of 2021. I am excited to get started on my journey and looking forward to connecting!
Hi @Joshua Duenas. Welcome to BiggerPockets, I'm glad you're here. Your goals of reaching financial independence and retiring early are attainable with your interests of investing in multi-family homes. Nice work on starting your investing career at such a young age.
@Joshua Duenas - Welcome to BP! Just want to drop by and say hi since I rarely see folks from around my area. I invest both in CA and out of state (OOS). Obviously pros and cons to both strategies. Good luck with your journey!

Thank you. It is nice to know that there are other investors in the area.
Welcome aboard! I'm new as well and also live in the Bay Area, East Bay to be exact. I have the same questions and concerns you do as whether or not to invest here or in another market or even out of state.
Let me know if you ever want to connect or bounce ideas off one another !
