Sorry for the big paragraph. I know this is supposed to be brief.

My name is Joshua. I am born and raised in Louisville, KY. I'm a junior at the University of Louisville, studying political science and going through Army ROTC. Hopefully when I graduate I'll be an Active Duty officer.

A major thing that both my parents and cadre encourage me to do is invest. I've been wanting to get into it for years since I first watched Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.

My experience in RE: I have, up to this point, never invested into real estate before and just began looking at real estate in detail over the past year. My mom just recently became a RE agent, so I guess that influences me too.

My eventual goal in real estate is to be able to invest to the point that it is practically a second income if not better than my main pay as an officer.

I found Bigger Pockets last night when I looked up, "How to start investing into real estate." It seemed to be the best result, a great resource and I'm pretty stoked that I found it.

    Welcome to the site.

    Very cool that you have multiple members in the safe family interested in real estate.

    Good luck to you and your mom.

    Thanks! Yeah, my mom's experience as well as guys like Dave Ramsey got me to look into real estate more for investment.

    I was looking at starting in Louisville but eventually investing in other places like Texas.
