Eager to begin, and so many choices and fear! An intro:

Grant Anderson

Hello my BP friends!
Looking forward to meeting everyone. I'm a 24-yr-old, full-time keyboard monkey making about 67k a year in Florida (born-and-raised) working in construction. I enjoy my job plenty, but it doesn't hold a candle to my dreams of more time with my future family and freedom to pursue entrepreneurship without working for basic living expenses. I have been watching RE junk food for around a year now but I recently picked up a pro membership on BP and looking to take action! However not yet a decisive one...

Fortunately (and unfortunately) I am a dreamer with many interests and skills. Definitely a jack-of-all-master-of-none. There seems to be many directions I'd like to go in real estate, but I know for a best initial success (and for my sanity) I should be picking on one to start. 

One thing I do know is unless there are overwhelming reasons I shouldn't, I'd like to stay in Florida since I'd like to think my connections and ground-understanding gives me a homefield advantage (at least to start).

Interest-wise, my gut is pulling me towards creating unique experiences for tenants/guests (top-notch AirBnB's and RV parks for example). I could try raising capital for this but I'm afraid it's risky and maybe picking up a Small Multifamily would be a good place to start, knock out my housing expense, and then I can leverage the property to go for the former. Am I making any sense here?

It's my hope to meet lots of you here on the forums and hone-in on a path to take for Class 1 Financial Freedom!

Best,

Grant
