Hey BP folks. Thanks for having me. As I'm being dragged kicking and screaming intro the world of landlording. I decided to stop lurking in cyberspace and join up.

My name is Jamal (1goodeye). So why join? I just got married and instead of one house I now have two. I found out I'm about $100k upside down on my own house. The only advice I got was to go broke and foreclose or short sale and sit on my hands for the next three years. Since I didn't let myself go under during the recession why should I let myself go under now?

I can be much more creative than that. So I'm all in with a dream and a smile. The plan is to become a REI take control of financial future and leave corp America behind.
