Hello everyone, I am Jean Cetoute.  I live in Jacksonville, NC.  I spent 10 years in the Marine Corps as an Environment Management Specialist and another 10 years in my primary occupation as an Electrician.  I have been investing in Real Estate since 2007.  After retired from the Marine Corps I decided to get my license and help families with one of their biggest life investment, which is buying a home.  I was made aware of Bigger Pocket by a new friend of mine last night and she helped me create the account today.  My Goal is to grow my business to making at least $250,000.00 in take home per year.  I look forward to meeting everyone to develop and  grow a respectful professional network.

Hi Jean

Welcome to bp. I live an work in NC. I find good deals in all 100 counties in the state. I am well connected in the state and I have bought and sold properties in Jacksonville. Dmitriy that just posted above has helped many people who have retired set up solo 401Ks.

I see deals in your city all the time. As I am sure you are aware Jacksonville is a town where you must be cautious on turn times if you are flipping homes.

Feel free to give me a call and we can synergize.

    Welcome to BP and good luck.  I love your goal of $250,000 per year.  Everyone should set crazy high goals to keep themselves challenged to be the best they can be.  I hate when I hear someone say you need to set reasonable goals.

    Big goals keep you focused and maybe even a little obsessed.  Being obsessed with achieving goals in a GOOD thing.
