Hello everyone

I am new to the site, but I have been reading other people's post. I love the articles on that are here, and have been learning a lot. I live in Montana. I have been interested in investment real estate for a long time. I would like to obtain rental properties in a buy and hold investment. I recently have begun the process to purchase my first home, which will be my primary residence, and am surprised at the process (closing at the end of January). I am glad I decided to stop paying low rent and purchase a house before investing to see all the steps involved. I appreciate everyone's hard work, and the real world experience that has been posted on this site. I hope by the end of 2014 to have acquired my first rental property. I look forward to learning much more, and hopefully I may contribute as much as I gain in the future.

Thank You

Aaron

Welcome to the site Aaron! I think buy and hold is the way to long term wealth.
