Hello everyone-

My name is Luke Robertson and I am just starting out my journey through real estate investment. My wife and I currently own our home and 1 rental property. We are looking to educate ourselves further and grow our rental property count in an effort to generate income while we still hold our full time jobs. 

The rental property wasn't an acquisition, but our old home we decided to keep when we moved in February of this year. It was a good move as it is generating ~$200 per month from the tenant and in a very good area to rent out for weekend Notre Dame Football home games in the fall.

My wife works for a commercial real estate firm and is licensed and I am looking to get licensed as well to make the process more seamless. I feel her being licensed gives us an initial leg up along with some of the access she has to her firm's properties as investment opportunities. 

I came to find BiggerPockets.com after searching for real estate investment books on Amazon and finding The Ultimate Beginners Guide as a top rated book. I then broke into the podcast and am here now!

I'm looking forward to getting involved in the community and seeing where things take us!
