Newbie Saratoga Springs NY with a Mid Life Crisis!
Hey guys,
My name is Kris Benson I am a father of two and currently live in the Saratoga Springs area. I am 33 and seem to be having a "mid life", well maybe not mid-life but a bit of a crisis.
I have been very fortunate to have a number of high level sales jobs in my career thus far and earned a great living. The challange has been finding discretionary time to committ to real estate. I cant describe why but I have a feeling deep in my soul that now is the time to build my foundation of a passive income stream through real estate.
I am most interested in a buy and hold strategy which will allow me to ultimately replace my current income.
I will be looking to Bigger Pockets for networking opportunities, sound investing advice, and support to move forward. Thanks for a great resource and I look forward to contributing to the community.
Kris
