[Samuel H. Bolton]

Greetings all! My name is Samuel H. Bolton. I have been researching and reading about real estate investing for a few years off and on. I feel like it is time to take it to the next level and get my feet wet. I will be closing on my first property within the next month, a duplex. I plan to live on one side with my wife and rent the other. I acquired it through a conventional FHA loan and I hope that is the last time I will have to go through a standard mortgage lender for the next few years.

I am very interested in learning how to acquire properties subject to the existing loan and through owner financing. My goal is to achieve financial independence in five years or less (emphasis on less). I currently work full-time at a non profit organization and make about as much as a public school teacher. My wife also works as a nurse.

When I achieve independence, I want to continue to travel the world with my wife and loved ones. I am excited to network, learn, and grow! Thanks!
