Hello all!

My name is Nate; I am a 23 years old. My occupation is an infantry officer. I am currently stationed at fort benning.

Over the past year or so, I have become fascinated with real estate. Ever since I graduated high school, I became an avid lover of all topics finance and investment related. Most recently however, I have come appreciate the huge potential that investing in real estate affords.

A few months ago I finally stopped throwing away my money by renting and purchased my first home. I intentionally bought a bigger home than I needed: I currently have 2 roommates who pay off most of my mortgage for me.

In the past 2 months, I have really began to delve into real estate. I have read 20 or so books on various strategies, including browsing any quality information I can find online. I currently have an offer in on a short sale, but have been exploring other ways to start getting my feet wet as well.

Looking forward to a prolonged stay on the site!

Nate Gelinas Welcome to BP. This is a good site. I wish I would have found it before I bought my rentals. This site has by far made me into a better informative investor.
