Hi, my name is Jonathan, I am 31 years old. I am a newbie to real estate investing from the Sioux City, Iowa area. I have no prior real estate experience, but I have worked in the financing side of commercial deals for the company I work for.

I have doing research with alot of real estate books, BP books,  and listening to plenty of podcasts.  I am looking to continue to educate myself through the BP network and connect with experts to gain insights.

I am most interested in the buy and hold strategy with single and multi-family homes to increase cash flow to start. My goal would be to eventually create enough success in the next 10-15 years to replace my 9-5 job.

Looking forward to connecting with others as I get started on my journey. Thanks again and I am welcome to any advice.
