Hello everyone, I've been listening and learning from the podcast, forums, and website for the last year. Big thanks to Joshua Dorkin for establishing this amazing resource!  Bigger Pockets has helped me stay sane over the last 12 months while studying for the CPA Exam. Starting my investing career was the prize at the end of the tunnel. I passed my last exam in May, and purchased my first property in July. 

I have been an Internal Auditor for an international manufacturing corporation for the last two years.  Now that I have my first rental property and my CPA I'm interested in gaining experience by becoming a part of a team which specializes in syndication, turn key investments, or large scale real estate investment and management. My wife and I are open to moving for the right opportunity. 

I plan to make a second post in the deal forum to show the numbers on my first property: I'll link it here. It wasn't a home run by any means, but it's providing positive net net cash flow, and I'm learning a ton. 

My short term goal is to find a four, tri, or duplex in Joplin, MO or in Northwest Arkansas to live in. Eventually, I would like to manage my own investments full time. 

I'm looking forward to being a part of the community.
