New guy from Cleveland Ohio.

Boy, do I have a lot to learn...

After my Fiance was re-located to Atlanta, we decided to rent her house out. That was enough to get us started...and eager to find more properties. But....as I said earlier...I've got a lot to learn first.

I plan on lurking for a bit, reading all I can. On paper, our goal is to buy 2 properties a year as we have cash for the DP and then build up our portfolio that way. Well, that's the plan right now anyway. I'm sure it will change drastically after I finish my initial research.

So...it's nice to meet you all. Can't wait to jump in...

Thanks for the advice gang.

Like I said...I'm in "learning" mode right now. There's a guy in my office that has a 200+ units, so I'm going to pick his brain from time to time. He's already offered to introduce me to some of his contacts in the area. That'll go a long way towards validating my initial thoughts on my plan. I want people to poke holes in it so I'm not caught off-guard.

It'll take a few years to build up to where I feel comfortable. For once in my life, I'm going to take things slow and build out my portfolio over the next 10 years so hopefully I can retire early with a nice nest-egg.
