@Bob Okenwa- thank you for the information and reaching out, Bob. I have been in touch with Shiloh Lundahl and will be attending his next meetup. Shiloh has already been a great resource. Looking forward to meeting like minded people at the next meetup.

@Shiloh Lundahl - yes, I am excited about attending your next meeting and I look forward to meeting you in person as well. Thank you again for your time and help thus far. See you soon.

@Kenny Dahill - thank you for reaching out. I agree in your approach to the demographics of Tempe. I will definitely reach out to inquire more about the different areas. 

Hi Mike. Thank you for the great information. I will definitely check it out. 

Hi BP members. I am new to RE investing and I am looking to acquire buy and hold rental properties in the East Valley. Any information on local meetup groups, the local market and investor friendly lenders would be greatly appreciated. 

I am excited to begin my search for RE investments in the East Valley and network with like minded people. Any information on future meetup groups, the local market, and investor friendly lenders would be appreciated.  

Post: So what's holding you back?

I am new here, so I apologize for the "newbie" question. I'm in the process of learning and educating myself so I can feel more confident when buying my first property. In reading the book, Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant Guide to Financial Freedom, Robert Kiyosaki says you should learn to be a business owner first and understand how to build systems and work with people before jumping into investing, otherwise, it's financial suicide. What are your thoughts on this? While it does make sense, I feel like if I have to wait to become a successful business owner first, it could be a while before I begin my RE investing.
