Hello!
My name is Jon Miller and I am an engineer in Chesapeake VA. I started buying real estate in 2012 with my primary residence, an out-dated brick ranch which I was going to fix up. I bought my first rental, a townhouse, in 2015 and closed on my 2nd rental at the end of February. I purchased the first two properties with savings, and refinanced my house to buy property #3 and hopefully #4 late this year. I am married and have a baby on the way.
My real estate goals are (short to long term):
1) Buy a 3rd rental in 2017
2) Buy a new primary residence and rent my current one by 2020
3) ?
4) Net $7k a month by 2042.
I'm looking to learn more about creative financing, raising capital, commercial financing, and how to build/run a scalable business. I've been listening to the podcast for a couple months now and I'm taking the step into the forums now. Looking forward to being part of the BP community!
You are already well on your way by setting yourself some good goals. I am living in Chesapeake as well. Perhaps our paths will cross some day soon. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
