Sebastian, FL New member

[Troy Meyer]

Greetings Bigger Pocket Members,

My Name is Troy Meyer and I am new member, and reside in the Sebastian, FL. I started real estate investing while I was in the Army, buying houses at every new location and renting them out after my reassignments. This started me on my path to passive income on a long term basis. I am eager to collaborate with Bigger Pockets contributors to learn more about expanding my business and to get insight on different types of investing. I currently have two positive cash flow rentals and hold the note on two owner financed properties. I am in the process on liquidating my out of state properties to recreate locally.

I retired from the Army after 26 years and currently doing some contract work for the government in Georgia. In my off time I am studying for the Florida Real Estate exam since I am always looking at new listing and deals, even when I am not in the market. My long term goal is to create a larger passive income though buy and hold deals. I have bought several distressed and foreclosed properties as well as move in ready homes (if there really is such a thing, my wife always finds something to change). I plan to attend and join the local REIA which I believe is held in Vero Beach upon my return later this year. I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge.
