Hi All,
My wife and I live in SW Idaho and are interested in becoming real estate investors in the next couple years. We currently own a home in the Twin Falls area and are interested in turning our current primary residence into another rental here in a couple years as we bought at a low point in the local real estate market. We currently cashflow just shy of $200/mo after vacancy, R/M and capital expense. I stumbled onto this site a week ago after reading an article about a gentleman who found out his wife had $90,000 worth of student loan debt when they married.
We are currently working on paying off some debt and will be in a full time education mode over the next couple years reading all we can get our hands on and watching more webinars. I watched my first one last week! Can't wait to watch some more as they are great for a newbie. We are going to work on a plan in January but hope to find a mentor sometime in early 2017 to help guide us.
I'll be lurking around. Looks like a wonderful site and can't wait to contribute to the learning!

It's great to see you on the site Brian! The education one could receive from BiggerPockets could be worth millions! The best part are the experienced investors who share their wisdom with ambitious newbies daily. Be sure to check out the weekly podcasts that Josh and Brandon put on. You can find the interviews they do on a number of different media platforms and are a PURE GOLD MINE of information on building wealth in real estate. Enjoy
