Relatively new investor from Jackson, Georgia

[Jason Schlager]

Hello everyone,

My name is Jason Schlager and i live in rural Jackson, Ga (about halfway between Atlanta and Macon). My wife and I have each bought and sold houses in the past and were landlords at one time, but were not heavily into investing in real estate.

We have two kids in college and decided that it would not be a bad idea to buy a rental property, split it into small, off campus apartments and have one or both move in, then rent out the remaining units(s). This line of thinking got us into discussing real estate investing as a good option to develop passive income. A friend who is also involved with this site told me what a great place this is to learn and to help others.

We will probably not seriously consider any purchases for several months as we both have a LOT to learn. I am looking forward to becoming a part of this community!
