Hey everyone,

I wanted to take the time to introduce myself to the Biggerpockets community! I have been lurking on this website for some time now and I can say that I truly believe that it is great to be a part of a community that shares so freely. Being from Iowa, it is very hard to find real estate investment clubs in my area and I think this site will help close a little bit of that void.

Why am I here? Well, I want to use real estate investment as a means to create a passive income and wealth for myself and my family. I also find real estate investing to be the most dynamic and exciting way to spend my time. I cant get enough of it ,which is probably a common theme around this forum.

I am currently in a sales position and work non-standard hours and know that this is my biggest challenge. I have a law degree and bar membership as well (practiced for awhile, but was not my cup of tea!!) Too much research, writing and desk sitting for me!

I am actively involved in pursuing lease options and also am interested in, but have not done, sub2 to lease option strategies. You could say I am interested 1) generating cash and 2) putting that cash in a cash flow producing property, but I am still in the generating cash mode and business construction phase.

I would love to hear how others got to where they are and I will be providing help to others whenever I can.

Reap, then sow.

John N
