New investor in Louisville ky

[Eric Pocker]

Hello, My name is Eric Pocker, 32 years old, in Louisville Ky. I am married, 9 years this month. Two kids, 5 and 2, boy and girl respectively. I am an aircraft mechanic by trade and my wife is an Ob/Gyn nurse practitioner. We are in the early stages of buying our first rental property. I have never owned my own rental property but my dad has owned since before I was born. I have been helping him maintain his apartments and watching how he deals with issues for a while, so I don't feel completely new to the business. But not being the owner I am sure there a lot of details that I missed. I plan to focus on building a portfolio of multi family properties to hold long term for a steady cash flow and accrual of equity. And eventually quit my day job( night job actually). I found this website a few weeks ago and had been reading several hours a day since. It is a wonderful community that these forums can crate and I look forward to being a part of this one. EricP
