Hello All,
I'm new to real estate investing. I've spent the last 25 years as a firefighter. I'm close to retirement. I have 3-5 years left before I retire. I'm interested in learning how to invest in real estate in my retirement. I have been in the real estate space a couple of times throughout the last 25 years. I was a real estate agent for 2 year 20 years ago. I worked as a loan officer for 2 years about 5 years ago. When I promoted to a Battalion Chief, I just didn't have time to be a loan officer anymore. Now I have time again to dedicate to learning. I'm interested in investing long distance, since everything in California is really expensive. I have read a number of books on investing and am particularly interested in the BRRRR strategy.
