I am 21 years old, and ready to buy my first home. For the last 2 years I have worked for a property preservation company specializing in foreclosed and REO home maintenance and rehab work. I plan on traveling the world, to explore my culinary interests, and real estate presents a great way to earn money while traveling. My plan is to start off with the purchase of a buy-and-hold rental property in a booming college town. I would initially be living in this house and rent the extra rooms out, for about a year, or until my first adventure calls my name. From there, the house will be fully rented to college students.

After the initial house, the possibilities are endless, and I do plan on buying several additional properties once I have earned enough equity on the initial purchase.

Thank you, and I look forward to utilizing the tools, and networking found on this website.
