Hello All,

I am a "newish" member who has been lurking for a while and enjoying the newsletters and blog posts so far. I became an "accidental" landlord when we couldn't sell our primary home after a move. In spite of a less than positive experience (bad tenant, long-distance relationship with the house :-), we decided to continue along that path and bought a single-family home last year that has worked out well so far (although I did have some questions related to that - I'll save that for another forum)

I am actually not sure what our next steps should be in REI, since our primary jobs keep both of us quite busy. Hopefully interacting with other members will help us decide. My long term goal is to generate enough passive income so I could retire if I wanted to (although I probably won't!).
