Hi I'm Mark.

I'm a former real estate appraiser, full time stay-at-home dad while my wife completes a grueling post-graduate training program in Greenville, SC. I consider myself a green, wet-behind-the ears, newbie. I'm here to learn and contribute to the community when/where constructive and appropriate.

My parents and grandparents owned mobile homes, and a mobile home park, when I was growing up demonstrating the importance of rental income. As a result, I like mobile home parks and the people that choose to live there.

My investment interests are multi-family (5+ units) and mobile home parks. I'm also interested in learning about private placement notes and bonds - and learning more about the topic "Syndication." More specifically, how to issue a private placement bond, thus bypassing the underwriter(?). Any insight is greatly appreciated.

My goals in real estate are to first find someone to whom I can be a benefit and then begin building a team. The second major short term goal (6 months) is to close on a multi-family property. Five year goal is 1500 units. I'm so green I feel embarrassed to share my goals beyond my rather-ambitious 5 year goal.

I'm not sure when I first joined bigger pockets; however I decided to engage and start paying attention after finding the podcast on Stitcher Radio. I first saw the site a few years ago but was busy appraising houses - thinking I knew everything while also making no money. Now with my wife in her training program, small children in the house, and nearly $500k in student loans hanging over our heads ... it seems like I should probably start paying attention :-)

I look forward to reading the forums, doing some business and, hopefully, meeting some of you in real life.
