Hello,
My name is Tom Jones and I am located in the Sacramento CA. area. I have been in precision machining my entire working career, 27 years. It has provided a good living and still does. Recently I have been considering my exit strategy from working since I am no longer a spring chicken and would not like to be working in my older years. J I have known that RE investing is a good way to bring passive income for a long time but have never had the means to acquire investments. My wife’s uncles had left the work force utilizing buy and hold rental properties in the 80’s.
A few months back I came across Rich Dad Poor Dad audio books on You Tube. Listening to the 3 Rich Dad books has renewed my interest in RE investing. I have stumble across wholesaling and subject to leasing podcasts that really grabbed my interest. I had listened to an interview that featured Josh or Brandon a little over a month ago that drove me to Bigger Pockets. So now I have begun my education on RE investing. I am glad to found this resource and really looking forward to learning and then applying what I learn so my exit strategy from the work force can become reality.
