New(ish) member from Kansas City Intro

Hey BP, great to meet ya finally. I actually joined about a month ago but was confused on how to do this new member intro and actually engage with this great community!

My name is Ryan and I originally hail from Nashville, TN and am now a resident of downtown Kansas City. I started a white collar job for a large corporation here in the midwest right out of college and found BiggerPockets through websearches for ways to make passive income!

A little about me: I graduated from Vanderbilt University in May of 2013 and am a die hard SEC football fan. Everything college sports, actually, gets me really pumped up. I hope to eventually relocate back down south to settle down and enjoy a life of financial freedom.

I grew up with a father who runs his own business and realized recently how much financial freedom he has. I work 12 hour days normally and he is always blowing me up to "do this" or "read that" or "I'm going to start doing contract asphalt jobs!". It actually hit me when he called me to tell me about that idea, while I was at work eating lunch at my desk and he was hanging out with my twin sisters at the mall on a wednesday afternoon, that he has achieved the dream and I want that! which is how I got interested in real estate investing - come to find out he actually also owns a rental property!

Please feel free to contact me and hit me up with any/all opportunities to learn! I am a very hard worker and grew up working as a janitor (for my dad, of course). so if you are a KC investor and need a property cleaned, detailed, or whatever, I'm your guy! Whatever it takes to start great, meaningful relationships with the local veterans.

Also, I started a blog and need book suggestions so please check it out and leave a comment with any books you believe are valuable to a newbie RE investor!

thanks all and Go 'Dores!
