Hi everyone! Super excited to join the Bigger Pockets community as I have SO much to learn! I am hoping to F.I.R.E. in the near future and plan for REI to be a part of my overall income strategy. I currently have 2 rental properties along with another vacant piece of land I'm looking to develop, and also own my primary residence. Hoping to add 3-5 buy and hold properties to my portfolio over the next year and would like to complete 1-2 flips per year upon F.I.R.E. I'm not looking for REI to take over my life nor am I looking to make a gazillion dollars. Would simply like some steady, dependable income as part of an early retirement strategy.

By day, I'm an accomplished sales executive and by night I love to dream about REI and also blog. Currently reno'ing (what will be) my primary residence...a 1926 Acadian style cottage that was basically falling down upon my purchase. I love Jesus, travel and playing tennis.

Would love to connect with other REIs in the north Louisiana area.
