Hello All.

Thank you for stopping by this post. My name is Eric Henry and I am currently located in Riverside Ca and will be moving to the Phoenix Area later this year once I find my first mutli plex to invest in. I am currently married for the past 16 years and have 3 wonderful kids ages 13,9 and 3. My current hobbies include reading, music, movies, camping, hiking, snowboarding and anything MMA.

I consider myself a "Jack of all trades" type of person and my work history speaks for that. Marketing for a large computer company to Customer service for a large Home improvement center and becoming an electrician. But that is just the tip of the iceberg, as I love to work with my hands really. When I put my mind to something, I become rather fickle about it and try to consume as much information as I can about that subject. Which is what's gotten into me this year. I am tried of working for everyone else and not seeing as much fruit of my labor as I should have. Times have changed and Its time for me to prove to myself that I can achieve my dreams and seek true independence. Right now all I am doing is consuming 3 books and researching. I am looking forward to all the ups and downs that are going to come my way.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it.

    @Eric Henry I'm in a somewhat similar situation, in that I'm in Riverside and will likely be heading to Phoenix later this year, happy to share anything that might help about my investing journey so far.

    Hey Eric, welcome man! This is a super exciting time in your investing journey. My brother just left Oregon and moved to Tennessee to do exactly what you're doing, finding properties to invest in. I'm local to Riverside as well, so if you ever want to chat, please feel free to reach out. Hope the move goes well for you and yours!
