Hello everyone! My name is Kerry Smith, and I am a beginner real estate investor. First, let me say thank you to the Bigger Pockets community! Just in the few days that I have been a member of the site, I have already expanded my real estate knowledge greatly. I look forward to becoming an active member and contributing to the site.

I am active duty military and enjoy real estate investing on the side. I currently have two single family rental properties. One is located Fountain, Colorado, the other is in Sanford, North Carolina. Both properties were our previous primary residences. The house in CO I purchased with my VA loan, and the place in NC I used an FHA 203k. Going through the 203k process was a challenging, but rewarding experience. It also gave me a lot of insight in to the renovation process.

My short term goal is to develop a business plan (thanks for the guide!), flip my first house, learning from the experience, and gaining the confidence I need to continue in the business. My long term goals are to buy and hold multiple single family properties, eventually earning $1000, $5000, and eventually $10,000 in passive income per month.

Once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences!
