New Member From Wichita, KS

[Dameron Shore]

I am posting my obligatory introduction before I start an actual topical thread of inquiry in one of the forum subject areas. I'll put up a picture or company logo at some point to satiate those that don't like to see the same icon for everyone, but there will likely be no mixing me up with another member by my name!

I am self-employed (non-RE) and came across this site researching the Solo 401k. At some point, I may add RE to my focus for income or as a retirement account investment, but I am not there yet. I am in my 3rd year of self-employment, and am just getting around to formalizing the business as a separate entity as myself (though it is a Sole Proprietorship, and thus no business logo to upload as of yet). I look forward to learning some more about RE as I am able to spread my focus in the future.  

I have a business education background, and have been in the trucking and auto insurance industries professionally before working for myself. Currently, I sell used cars through a local dealership group, and used commercial and non-commercial equipment and merchandise mostly online.

By nature, I am a researcher. I don't ask questions much until I have either exhausted my research efforts, or am on the fence with a decision and have come up to a deadline requiring me to pull the trigger.

And my "Occupation" is not "Homeowner." I believe the question in the signup had to do with RE experience & involvement...so why that suddenly translates into my "Occupation," I don't know.
