New guy from Maine
I started a martial arts school almost 26 years ago. We've grown it to 3 successful locations and I'm ready for a new challenge. I'm shooting to create enough passive income in the next 5 years so I can sell my current businesses and refocus my energies on creating a comfortable life for my wife and I. I'm also hoping to start my family on a path to generational wealth.

Hey Glen, congrats on starting down the path towards investing! Like others have noted, there’s many different ways to go about the journey of real estate investing so starting with the end in mind (monthly cash flow number) and working back from there is the best way to do. That will give you immediate next steps for properties to target and what to invest in. I’d be happy to jump on an intro phone call and talk more about your goals. Also, I would encourage you to start attending the local meetups to learn from what others are doing. My next meetup is tonight, would love to see you there!
