Tampa Bay Area Couple Interested in Investing

[Arthur Pujols]

Hey guys and gals,

My name is Art, and I am new to the site, so I wanted to just leave a quick intro. I am a father of 2, and I am looking to get my feet wet in the real estate investing arena with my partner, who happens to be the mother of my children. We want to take on this venture as a team.

We come home daily wondering where the time went. By the time we get home, we have 2 hours with the kids before bed time, and then it's time to start the cycle over again. We want more time and financial freedom, and we hope this could be a vehicle to get us there.

I work at Brighthouse doing tech support, and she is a US Army vet, and an RN doing case work for the government. We currently have 1 rental property, and we are looking to purchase a new upgrade and renting this one out like we did with the last.

I have slim to no real estate experience, but have been gobbling up as much knowledge as I can. I would love to find someone locally who could show me the ropes and possibly be a mentor.

I've been surifing the wealth of info here, and decided to make an account. I have tons of questions, so I am sure you will see more of me. :)
