Hi there I am Anthony and am a full time IT Professional and part-time REI looking to grow in that area and hopefully make it a full time profession. My wife and I began investing in Real Estate in 2011 as a retirement vehicle to supplement our 401K's, SS, and her pension (honestly we are not relying on SS). Our goal is to acquire 10 properties in 10 years. We have acquired 2 currently which are both rented out and generating income. One has now doubled in value and the 2nd has appreciated significantly. (1 was a off market property and the other was a homepath property).

My next goal is to acquire our 3rd property with little out of pocket costs and use the equity we have in one of our current properties for the down payment. The previous 2 properties I have always saved up the cash to bring to the table to puchase the property. Now I want to learn how to make my current properties work for me to acquire more properties.

This site has plenty of information and knowledge for which I am grateful for but there are people who have been doing this far longer than me on this board and any help or wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Anthony
