Hello everyone.

I am a new to this site and have enjoyed reading some of the topics posted on the site. I am in my mid 30's and have a wife and 3 kids (kids all under age 6)

My only experience with REI is successfully turning my first home into a lease option 10 years ago. Tenant paid Rent for 2 years never missing a payment and then decided not to purchase (charged a higher rent payment with a little going to purchase price) then painted carpeted and sold the property for 30k more than the option price was set at. I also joined a local REI club a long time ago and never moved and any deals or homes. I am no longer am a member there.

Moving Forward, I would like to purchase 1 to 2 properties a year for a buy and hold
strategy. my goal would be to create an additional stream of income to diversify my current investing. I am not looking to get rich quick I am just looking to build for the future.

I look forward to gaining insight and knowledge of the do's and don't of REI.

Thanks,

Brian
