Hey BP!

Hello, My name is David McCready.

I live in Windsor, CA and relatively new to real estate investing.  I'm currently a full time Police Officer and a UH-60 pilot in the California Army National Guard.

I love my jobs, but to be honest, I do not want to be a wage slave the rest of my life.  I have been searching for a business idea that I am passionate about and I always end up coming back to real estate.  I've always thought it was too expensive for me to start my own real estate business in my area until I found this site.  I just purchased my primary residence last May ($415,000)... thankfully it has already earned quite a bit of equity. 

Beyond the aforementioned reason, I want to get into real estate investing because I want to be home more with my family.

My plan is to focus primarily multi family units for long term passive income with flips in between.  I am currently in the education phase, but my goal is to purchase my first investment property in the next twelve months. 

Thanks for the time!

David G. McCready
