Newbie from Peoria, IL
Greetings All,
My name is Harreld Webster and I live in Peoria, IL. My wife and I moved here from Los Angeles in 2008 in an effort to provide a better life for our family. She's a teacher and I work for a non-profit preschool.
We purchased our first home 13 months after we moved to Peoria and soon after set our sights on investing in rental property. I am excited to announce that we close on our first investment property tomorrow!
I discovered BP a few weeks ago when I was studying up on what it takes to be a good landlord and came across Brandon Turner's article "How to Be A Landlord: Top Ten Tips for Success." I felt like a college student on the first day of his favorite class.
All in all, I'm as new as new can be when it comes to real estate investing and I want to focus my efforts primarily on rental property.
