Hello all! I am a 31 year old father and husband looking to get started in real estate so that my wife does not have to work anymore. I am currently a sales manager for a commercial tree farm and have recently been consuming Kiyosaki's books like they are candy. I even purchased his cash flow board game to play with my family. The idea of escaping the "rat race" is something I have aspired to since I was in my mid twenties. I started two businesses to that end. Unfortunately neither of those turned out how I planned but I learned a lot. I am hungry for the knowledge associated with being a successful real estate investor. I currently live in a 1000 sqft home that we pay a mortgage on. My plan is to buy a new house and rent my current residence out and then "sell up" into a larger property to get my start. 

Super interested in networking with people that are aspiring real estate investors like myself. Also "and maybe especially" interested in networking with people that have had success so that I can learn from them. Thank you for taking the time to read my post! Cheers!
