My big goal is to use REI to help propel our family into financial independence (and work-optional) life. I am married and have two kids and we've owned our home here in Fort Collins, CO since 2018. We purchased a local cash-flowing SFR in 2021 (before interest rates increased) which we self-manage since it's so close to home. In 2022, we also made the leap to purchase an out of state SFR in Montgomery, AL, where rental properties can still be found for $100k or less. After having the entire HVAC system stolen 1 week after closing, we have stabilized with tenants and positive cash flow.

I have read many FIRE and REI book and listened to endless podcasts. Now starting to get more involved in Northern Colorado networking meetups and trying to locate below market deals to continue investing local. Also, we want to continue scaling our out of state portfolio into multi-family. Targeting Louisville, KY and continuing our research and hoping to start building local team soon.

Glad to be a part of this great community!
