Hello everyone

[Alvin Taylor]

We are Alvin and Kathleen from Shreveport Louisiana. We have talked for a couple of years about the possibility of buying rental properties for our retirement but we are just now at the research stage. We own a business that keeps myself and 3 part time employees busy 9 months of the year but we have most of the winter free so I am also looking at real estate as an option for keeping my employees full time.

The wife also has a good job that keeps her very busy so our goals are less about making money now but more about a safety net and secure future.  I welcome any advice and thanks for all your help.
