New guy from Rome, Georgia

[Josh Johnson]

Hey Everyone, 

My name is Josh from Rome, GA and I've been lurking on here for about a week and this is my first post! I've been wanting to go into REI since 2003 but just didn't know enough about it, had a failed business, and ended up joining the Marine Corps and going to Iraq instead! However, the desire and drive stayed with me for the last 10+ years and now I am at the place in my life where I can follow my dream. I have my own LLC, Phoenix Real Estate Investments, which I set up earlier this year, and am now just trying to learn as much as I can, get my credit score higher, and purchase my first investment property. I want to go into REI for the financial freedom it allows and as a vehicle to build long term wealth. My strategy is in SFRs, small multifamily, and any property I can get a good deal on! Semper Fidelis-

@ Elizabeth C. Thanks! Good luck with your endeavors! I wish a lot of times that I would have stayed the course on active duty but for me things took a different course. I enjoy your blog- keep up the good work!

@Brandon Turner- Thanks man! I was just thinking about some local small multifamily properties this morning! Now time to get some coffee and go to work researching!

Regards, 

Josh
