New Real Estate Investor
Good morning, everyone! My name is Ron, and I would like to introduce myself. I am a new Real Estate Investor in the Southeastern NC area. I currently hold two W-2 jobs as a Firefighter and US Marine. I have already rented my first property and am excited to continue on to the next. My goals are to provide financial freedom for my future family and establish a sustainable safety net if physical limitations prevent me from retiring from my current W-2s.

Hey Ron! I’m a firefighter up in Massachusetts and I’m looking at getting started in real estate investing too. I’m in the same boat as you are with a safety net incase something happens in our career. I worry of injuries as I have a re-occurring injury from the academy, so I want to start something to let me get out of this career early and defer the pension. How’s the investing been going for you?
