Eager Member In Jacksonville Florida

[Ryan Robbins]

Hey Everyone, 

I'm Ryan Robbins, I'm 26 and a recent transplant to the sunshine state from the also sunny (normally), but much chillier, Connecticut. I'm new to the site (been lurking for about a month or 2) and to real estate. 

My most recent professional background consists of owning my own small trucking company at 21 where I was contracted with FedEx and grew it from a crew of 5 drivers to 9 full time drivers before selling the business this past February to move south. Florida welcomed me with warm weather, much less stress, a new job as an Operations Manager and a little chunk of change from the sale of my previous business. 

I've always been interested in real estate and admired those who have succeeded in such investments but until recently I never really put much thought into actually getting involved. I would say that my current real estate goals would be to slowly acquire properties over the coming years and build a strong portfolio to carry me into the later years of life. I've got an extreme work ethic and self motivation which many lack and keeps them glued to the everyday motions. I'm hoping to build business and personal relationships along with a vast amount of knowledge from this site. I look forward to picking your brains and continuing to grow.

P.S. Currently have 2 offers that I'm waiting to hear on for a primary residence and one buy and hold... Fingers crossed, these would be the first purchases!
