Please note that I didn't put a place as my residence in the subject area. I got a goofy story, but it is mine. I retired from the Marine Corps in 1995 and have lived mostly in Okinawa Japan. Not too weird yet, I realize, in the last 14 years I have been driving truck over the road in America. Working about 6 to 7 months of the year. I even got my BS degree in computer science during that time. Upon graduation I attempted to create stores, websites, online businesses, writing articles and everything I could think of to try and make a living without having to work in an office.
Here I am about to return to work in the frozen part of WI. I am from Janesville, WI. If you are familiar at all with driving you know that you don't really need a home and you can live in the truck if you wanted. That is what I have been doing and will continue to do until I can find a way to a business buying and selling homes.
I reread The One Minute Millionaire for the 4th time last week and kept thinking if Michelle can do it then so can I. Michelle is a character that the authors created, her story seems so real to me. Once I finished the book I have been searching for groups to join and that is when I came across another website, which had BiggerPockets listed as a place to learn more about the real estate investing business. I joined and have been reading your posts, listening to podcast and some podcast from others I found in iTunes.
I am looking forward to hearing from anyone.
