Hey guys,
My name is Kris Benson I am a father of two and currently live in the Saratoga Springs area. I am 33 and seem to be having a "mid life", well maybe not mid-life but a bit of a crisis.
I have been very fortunate to have a number of high level sales jobs in my career thus far and earned a great living. The challange has been finding discretionary time to committ to real estate. I cant describe why but I have a feeling deep in my soul that now is the time to build my foundation of a passive income stream through real estate.
I am most interested in a buy and hold strategy which will allow me to ultimately replace my current income.
I will be looking to Bigger Pockets for networking opportunities, sound investing advice, and support to move forward. Thanks for a great resource and I look forward to contributing to the community.
@Kris Benson - your story sounds like mine. I had my "mid-life crisis" this time last year (at 30 yrs old) when I decided that my vp position at an ad agency wasn't fulfilling anymore so I completely left the industry to focus on real estate investing full time. I too am a buy-and-hold investor and you're smart for having that gut feeling now (and acting on it).

Its interesting that what we once found so important changes....
I have downloaded the BP Ultimate Beginners Guide and Brandons 7 Years to 7 Figure Wealth. Will also be ordeing the books suggested by the site. I have plenty of homework to do.
