Hello to all.  My name is Greg and I will share my story quickly.

I started investing in real estate in summer of 2009 just out of college.  I knew nothing so I purchased a turnkey single family rental property in Norristown, PA and made some money for a couple years collecting rent on that place.  When I got married in 2011 my wife and I purchased a duplex and we lived in one unit and rented the other.  At the beginning of this year I decided to get serious about real estate and told myself I would aggressively grow my portfolio this year.  Here we are at the end of the year and I have acquired 4 additional properties with a total of 5 units.  3 of the properties where purchased very cheap, required a lot of renovations and now are rented out.  My goal is 4 additional properties per year.

I look forward to learning from the Bigger Pockets community and hopefully I can share a little knowledge as well.
