New Oklahoma Investor

[Zach Zepp]

I thought I should actually introduce myself. I've been perusing the site for a few months now and I decided I might as well make myself known.

Currently in college going for a double major in Accounting and Finance with a minor in Real Estate (woot!). I'm working as an intern in one of the big oil companies in the area.

Short term goal is to keep reading and asking questions over the next year while saving money. I'll be leaving for 4 months of military training (National Guard member, 3 years) at the end of the summer and I hope to purchase my first property as soon as I return. My plan is to live in the initial property til I graduate and rent out the other rooms (ideally live for free). Everything I save during school would go toward fixing up the original property/ saving for the next investment. While the first property will be my primary residence for a few years, the end goal for it is a rental.

Mid term goal is to get to ~10 SFH/plexes self managed (for the experience).

Long term goal is to begin investing in apartments and storage facilities.

Investor mentality: Buy and Hold
