Southern Illinois Newbie intro
First I would like to thank the creators of this site and everyone else for your input and real world experience. It is so helpful and I appreciate everything.
My name is Zach Leveling. I'm from Belleville, Il about 30 min east of STL, MO. I am 25 married, no kids. I work for Toyota as a Automotive Technician.
I have been interested in real estate investing for a long time now, but I'm finally ready to pull the trigger. Im interested in holding and flipping to be exact. I have read almost everything I can find on the subject, but I know there is still so much more to learn.
My goals right now are:
1. Sell current home
2. Purchase a duplex and live on one side.
3. Buy a stationary home for family and rent out both sides of the duplex.
4. Im not 100% after this, maybe start flipping
Please let me know what you think or if there is a better way to go about it. Also I forgot to mention that I would like to eventually transition to a full time investor/flipper from my current job. Thats more like my 10 year plan though!
