New Member Introduction

[Mike Allen]

Hey there, I just wanted to introduce myself. I have been binge-watching YouTube videos and old BiggerPocket Podcasts for the last month or so and finally decided to pay for a pro account here.

My wife and I both currently work in higher education, own our own home (in NJ) and are looking into getting involved with some real estate investing. Our biggest motivation is to be able to spend more time with our kids and to stop spending so much time commuting every day. I believe I am leaning toward the STR options, and have been especially inspired by a bunch of the stuff I have been hearing from @Avery Carl and her recent guest appearances on a number of YouTube channels.
