Hello from Washington, DC

[Dan Miller]

Hi BiggerPockets members and staff,

I am another newbie investor, just getting started in the world of real estate investing. I live in Washington, DC and am a financial analyst at a Fortune 500 company. I have two main goals in real estate: 1) to learn how to wholesale effectively so that I can generate quick cash with confidence, but without the added hassles of taking ownership. 2) To ultimately build a portfolio of properties that generate passive income and enable my family to enjoy our lives my thoroughly.

I am 30 years old and married. No kids...yet. :) I am an avid sports enthusiast. I play ice hockey and softball, and also love to watch pro sports (NFL, MLB, and NHL mainly). Big Philadelphia Eagles fan (not a good year this year, though). :cry:

I have taken one 3-day seminar so far on real estate and read several of the Rich Dad Poor Dad books, which I liked very much. I am about to buy my first property, which is a plot of land in a retirement community down South. I continue to want to read and take whatever courses (online or live) that will help me build my confidence in RE investing, build my team, and move forward. Those first few steps are the scariest, and they keep getting in my way.

Looking forward to interacting with you on this great site!

Dan :D
