Future Investor based in SW Florida

[Adaryll Gandy Jr]

Hello BP members,

My name is Adaryll. I am an aspiring investor based in the SW Florida area (Cape Coral to Naples). Currently I attend school for Business and work full time. I was originally attending Pharmacy school but decided that it was not exciting enough for me and that I could not live the next 50 years behind a counter counting pills. So after reading Rich Dad and partaking in a MLM for a short period, which I am no longer a part of, I decided I wanted to do something more active with greater upside. I began reading books about business, leadership, and investing and decided real estate was a field I wanted to get into. I joined BP to gain knowledge from investors who just bought their first property to those who own many properties and discover all the lessons they learned along their journey.

Hope to speak with many of you and hear your stories!

Example:  I bought a condo in 2004 for 138K that went to 270K in 2007 then down to 95K a few years later.  Now, it's back to 145K.  I live in Iowa, no swings in value like that here.  Cedar Rapids, IA is more of a slow and steady "linear" market.  I don't buy for appreciation, just cash flow.  But, that's my approach.
