Hi everyone! I'm an oilfield service hand that has been looking to change careers that would benefit me, but mostly my family in the long term sense. I've been curious about real estate for some time now. Since these tv shows are on showing how it can be done, I figured I'd give it a shot. I know it won't be easy but I'm willing to put in the work to see this all pay off in the long run. I want to be debt free within the next five years..that's my ultimate goal, and to build on that so I wouldn't have to worry about depending on SSI when I reach that retirement age. Wow, got long winded there lol..I hope to meet some great people on here and looking forward to maybe networking so I can make my goal a reality!!

Welcome! You've come to the right place.... I'd put a LOT more faith in what you read here than in what the TV shows tell you , lol. Be sure to check out the "Free Beginner's Guide" under the "Learn" menu above.
