Greetings from Lancaster PA

[Dan N.]

Hello Bp'rs and thank you for such a great community!

My name is Dan and I, like many before me, have spent much time reading these forums and considering the perspectives of many of the members here. I thoroughly enjoy the topics of discussion and it is very clear that there are many successful RE investors. I will be joining those ranks in the coming years.

So about me... I am a 33 year old Lancastrian (if anyone wants Amish quilts, my wife loves a reason to shop) looking to leave a legacy for my family. I went to a trade school for landscape design upstate and after graduating spent many years working in the automotive industry as a salesperson. (makes sense right?) After some trying times in my young life and ruining some excellent opportunities I took a modest position working for one of the national window treatment companies in the states, where I still am today. I have also been managing the maintenance on about 10 rental properties for a friend of mine who now resides in Chicago.

My old man was a successful realtor/investor/small builder in our area for many years when i was young, so i was kind of born into the business. Unfortunately he retired long before i was of age to appreciate my advantages. nevertheless, a fair amount of knowledge was mashed into my skull from a young age. I can remember totally renovating rentals with my father and my uncle from the time I was about Five.

I'll stop now so this post doesn't get out of hand.

Thanks for Reading

Dan
