Hi All!
I'm new-ish to real estate investing so I'll probably be spending the next couple month working my way through the suggested readings and the podcasts (on #6 currently!). I say new-ish because I did have one rental property that wasn't so much an investment as a desperate bid to stave off foreclosure after the 08 crash and a forced relocation (ah, military life). So, experience renting to a tenant, no experience investing! Also, I've read Rich Dad, Poor Dad. That counts, right? Anyway, as per the 25 Smart Tips, I've got a little bit of time, a little bit of money. Time to start working on that knowledge. My first goal is to acquire one rental property by Q1 2016, likely in the $150K range.
I'm a CPA and I actually love my 40 hour/week job. No really. I'm a total numbers geek and proud owner of an "I <3 excel" shirt. But I'm looking for a little bit of a challenge and hopefully to make a little bit of money too! I am NOT a CPA that does taxes on a regular basis. So if you have a tax question, I'll give it a go (maybe) but always with the disclaimer that you should consult a tax professional.
I have two young kids and as previously alluded to, a retired-Marine husband. Looking forward to stealing everyone's knowledge!
