Upper Michigan Investor!

[Adam Meckler]

Hey everyone! I am new to investing in real estate, sort of, and a long time listener to BP pod, but first time being on the forums. I'm a professional musician and have dreamed of being in the real estate game for many years while I read books and listed to pods on the subject. The dream for me is to eventually free up my time and have enough income from real estate to be able to pay for my music projects, travel, etc. 

We've had an Airbnb out of our primary residence basement for 2.5 years. That space beats our mortgage on average, which is rad. We used a HELOC on our primary to purchase and begin renovations on a duplex nearby, and just this month closed on a fourplex that has a couple units rented, and a couple that need full demo/flip (which is now in progress).

I'm taking some big swings and really having a blast doing it. Just wanted to say hi and that I appreciate this platform and all I've learned listening to the pod that empowered me to make these moves. I'm sure I'm making some mistakes but I'm in the game and having a blast. 

We're investing in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I'm a tenured professor in the music department at Michigan Tech University and lead my own bands and play with some folks it's possible you've heard of. 

Woot!
