Hello from the midwest

[Mike Smith]

While I've posted a bit, I haven't done a formal introduction. I'm new to real estate investing and have been spending the past few months getting educated. Heard about this site through a podshow and decided to check it out. The forums have given me plenty to think about and I appreciate everyone's input.

I'm from Missouri and planning on getting into owning some rental property. My immediate goal is to create monthly cash flow. From there, who knows? Going to look at my first property in 2 days, which will probably lead me to post a few more questions here.
