Hello Bigger Pockets!

My name is Christian Abel, and I am in Mobile, AL. I am a services technician for Schneider Electric (Square D Services), and formerly a Navy Nuclear Electrician Submariner. I do testing and commissioning on industrial electrical systems, (lots of windshield time).

I don't have any experience with real estate investments beyond buying my own home. I make good money doing what I do, but its not sustainable, nor do I want it to be...definitely not afraid of work, but pretty tired of 80 hour work weeks! I want to I don't have a lot of free time, but I know there has got to be a better way to grow my finances other than drawing a paycheck and putting it in savings.

I am looking build an investment portfolio that is capable of replacing my W-2 income in the next 10-15 years. I am smart and capable, and I work hard, so I know there has got to be a way for me to achieve this lofty goal. I hope to learn as much as I can, and am willing to help others to achieve my own goals!
