Rookie Investor Fired Up & Ready to Do the Work!!

Hey everyone!  My name is Tyler and I am a Realtor© based in the Boston area.  I'm originally from Iowa, lived in Arizona, Switzerland & Qatar and now Boston, MA for the last 6 years.  I'm devouring the BP podcasts, books, and just beginning to start analyzing deals.  I'm fired up to get started investing and there are two main deals I'm primarily focused on in the short term: Duplex in the Boston area for my wife and I, and a duplex in or near Cedar Rapids, IA.  For the latter I'd be eager to discuss partnering with another investor.  I've got the tenants lined up, and am planning to find and secure the deal.

My longer term goal is to be financially free in 10 years or less and work to grow the business because I want to -- not because I have to.

In my spare time I primarily enjoy cycling, hiking, traveling, and excellent food.

I look forward to networking and meeting some awesome like-minded people here on BP!

With gratitude, Tyler

    Welcome Tyler!! Sounds like you have a great start on your journey to financial freedom! I've got several properties in Eastern Iowa, including Cedar Rapids and would be happy to talk to you about the deal there!

    Welcome to the neighborhood. I'm in a small town 45 minutes North of Cedar Rapids, or as I like to call it "cashflow country". Good luck in  your endeavours.
