[Baron Hicklin]

My name is Baron. I am retired Air Force, married to a beautiful wife, and all the children are out of the nest. I know very very little about real estate. I have missed many opportunities to start a real estate career, but didn’t primarily due to fear. But I am here now. Honestly, I don’t know how I stumbled on to Bigger Pockets, but I am glad I did. The information here is both amazing and overwhelming. I currently work in a customer service job, but know it cannot provide for my financial future. I am in a position in life where it will not take much for me to walk away from my current job and pursue this business full time. So I am eager to learn and find ways to be successful. I have tons of questions. Please forgive me if my questions are basic common sense, I probably don’t know or I’m trying to confirm. My goal is to build a multi-million dollar business. My initial plan is to learn about the different investment strategies, determine what will work best for me now and in the future, learn some more, and then pull the trigger. I hope my intro was not too long and boring, but I am here now. Thank you for your time.
