Newcomer looking in the Kansas City area

[Justin Hall]

Greetings to the Bigger Pockets community!  My name is Justin Hall and after binge listening to all the BP podcast episodes over the last few months, trolling the forums anonymously, as well as reading the UBG, I'm ready to start taking massive action.

Let me start by saying that I currently reside in the central Florida area where I am an owner of a small engineering consulting company.  However, like most Floridians I am not from Florida.  I grew up in a small town southeast of Kansas City, graduated college from the University of Missouri-Rolla, and had my first job out of school at Cerner in North KC.  Let's just say my heart is still in MO (except during Winter).

I know the experts say don't do your first deal 'out of state' but my wife and I grew up around the KC area and are very familiar with the different areas and school districts.  In addition, we continue to have several friends and family who live in the area and we still make it back at least once a year.  Go Royals and Chiefs!

My real estate goals are nothing original.  I am looking to generate monthly cash flows by purchasing single family homes with a buy-and-hold strategy in hopes to provide a better life for my wife and kids.  I'm still in the process of assembling my team but hope to be sharing with you all a success story (or two) later this year.  

I look forward to building relationships and reciprocating the wealth of knowledge I hope to obtain as I gain experience. 

Cheers and Happy New Year!
