Newbie from Bellingham, WA

[Brett Van Leeuwen]

I'm Brett from Bellingham and am interested in multi family homes. Initially planning on buy and hold.

Podcasts got me going and after about 10 I figured its time for me to come join the forums. The interviews they have on the podcasts are insanely educational.

Got a wife and 20month old and work as mechanical/manufacturing engineer, along with some IT work. Always had the dream of being financially stable in my 40s/50s and have ventured out looking in stocks and whatnot, reading some books, etc. nothing really clicked. Until a friend of the family who owns 9 MF homes told me I should get into REI. I loved fixing up my little bungalow and learning the skills necessary, so REI feels like the right path. Very, very excited about it. Hope this excitement can continue for many of years!
