Marine Vet & Sales Pro Starting the REI Journey – Looking to Learn & Connect

[Matthew Haviland]

While I technically signed up for BiggerPockets a few years back I never really took the time to dive in—until now. I’m finally getting serious about real estate investing to supplement my W2 income and work toward financial independence.

A little about me—I’m a Marine Corps veteran and work in sales, helping businesses find the right CNC and fabrication equipment. Now I’m looking to apply that same problem-solving approach to real estate and start building something for the future.

Right now, I’m in learning mode and open to any advice, especially on getting started the right way. Looking forward to connecting with people here and figuring out the best path forward!
