Hello!

My husband and I are at long last diving into Real Estate Investing. After almost 19 years, he's finally gotten me on board, It took way too long to catch the vision of what REI could do for us and our family.

We are interested in just about everything, wholesaling, flipping, rentals, apartments, tax liens. But just starting out, want to get our feet wet with wholesaling and flipping. 

We are in the process of stetting up our company and finding a good local team to make it all work. 

My husband has been studying REI for a long while now, so has a considerable amount of knowledge, compared to me, who is scrambling to catch up. But I learn fast and work hard. And now that we're on the same page, are excited to make this work! We're tired of living the same and want FREEDOM!

Thanks!
