[Trent Grider]

Hi, ladies and gentlemen.  My name is Trent Grider and I am from Northwest Indiana.  I am currently a teacher of 28 years.  I am nearing retirement.  Looking to up my income for my retirement years.  Timeline for retiring from education is 6-8 years.  I am new to real estate, other than buying two homes(own one) to live with my family of six.  I am interested in flipping houses and rentals.  My knowledge of the real estate business is not vast.  I have a mathematics and physical education degrees.  I have been on BP for quite some time.  Just looking for advice.
