Hi all! I'm Shoor and I just joined yesterday.

I'm totally new to the real estate scene, but started thinking about what REI could do after the wife and I built and closed on our first home last September. Since then I've been reading everything I can get my hands on about buy and hold investing and I'm hoping to close on my first investment property deal within the next 6-9 months.

My eventual goal is to own enough property to retire, but I know I've got a long way to go not only in terms of time but in terms of knowledge as well. Hoping BiggerPockets can inform, enlighten, and point me in the right direction!

Thanks,

Shoor Kalam
