Greatings from Cincy!

[Brad S.]

I thought I should give a formal introduction, as I have been lurking for sometime with a few interactions on the forum. I have also had the pleasure of meeting a couple of BiggerPockets members at the Cincinnati REIA. Anyway, a bit about myself...

I have long been interested in real estate. Growing up I enjoyed watching Norm and Bob (yes old school TOS) fix their old houses and turn them into things of functional beauty. Outside of a practiced home owner (multiple relocations) and family handyman I'm new to the world of real estate investment. Many years ago, I had considered about getting into real estate investment but life happened (kids, jobs, etc). Now I'm in place where I'm ready to jump in. Like many, I'm looking to gain more financial control over my life so I can spend more time with my family and on my other interests without the dependency of the corporate board.

My mission is to create positive monthly cashflow and long-term wealth via building and managing portfolio of preferred residential rental properties in the markets they serve. The ultimate goal is to achieve $7,000 in semi-passive income in the next 5-10 years.
