Hello BP community! My name is Nate Hedrick and I am from Cleveland, Ohio. Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I work full time as a pharmacist but I have been thinking for a while about getting into real estate on the side. Specifically, buy and hold properties as well as getting my real estate license to participate in more deals (friends/family/tenants) and get some needed education. My goal is financial freedom. Not that I don't love my career as a pharmacist, I just want to love it on my own schedule. With student loan debt stacked in one corner and our first child on the way it certainly won't be easy but I am excited about the challenge. I'm currently in the 'read-everything-I-can-get-my-hands-on' phase of things and would welcome any advice or suggestions you have for a newbie investor like myself. Glad to be part of the community!

Welcome to the site Nate. I am just north of you up in lake county. Solon is a great area, very good schools. I too have a good 9-5 but looking for the same schedule freedom. One thing I would suggest is to stop wasting time listening to music in the car and start listening to the podcasts. I have learned more listening to all 191 than in any book I have read. See you around!
