Hello,

Just discovered this site and had to jump in. I'm John from Pittsburgh, PA. No REI experience whatsoever, but I haven't been able to stop reading up about it and researching it since the notion came to me shortly after the new year. Currently, I work full-time in IT for a corporation. Strangely enough, I love my job and it pays the bills (barely) but I've come to realize that it's not going to make me wealthy.

So I'm looking to learn a lot (more) from this site to discover what my niche might be in REI (wholesaling, rehab/flipping, buy & hold, etc) with my current limited resources. Would love to network with others, (whether newbie like me or pro), discover a mentor and maybe shadow someone on their day-to-day routine or even when landing a deal. I have a busy life as it is with the job, wife and small kids, so I need to start slow (or perhaps go crazy and dive deep, lol). I can't deny how exciting REI is to me so far!
