Hello everyone my name is Patrick Hockersmith, first let me say I love this site every question I have I can find the answer on a forum or pod cast. So a little about me I am 31 yrs old I am married and have two little boys. I am a "gearhead" meaning if it has a motor im happy. Motorcycles Cars Jetskis Boats you name it im in. I also enjoy the updates and such i have done on my own home. handyman stuff.
I have always been interested in real estate just never new how to get started. then i found bp and i am now pretty close to jumping in!
My goals for my investing is to acquire buy and hold rentals to produce enough income to "quit" my 9-5er i am also very interested in fix and flips. for now i have to go lunch break is over lol
