I'm a new member to BP, actually have been on the forums for a couple weeks. My wife and I listen to as many podcasts as we can. The podcasts and endless amounts of info on BP have certainly come in handy the over the last few months. About me; I am 32 years old, and unfortunately due to a health condition I am unable to work. I hope to be able to work again someday, but as of right now it is not looking good. Since my health scare my wife and I have discussed many ideas on how we can help supplement my lost income. After countless hours of talks, reading and listening to BP podcasts we came to the conclusion that investing in real estate seemed like the best solution. We know investing isn't a get rich quick scheme but rather something that takes time and patience in order to build a great real estate portfolio. In the next week my wife and I will soon begin our journey as landlords as the closing date on our first multi family rental property is only days away!
