New guy from Houston, TX
Hello, and thanks for taking the time to read this.
I am 35 years old, happily married with 2 beautiful children. Currently I am an outside sales rep for a large electrical distributor. Currently I call on several commercial electrical contractors here in Houston. With oil prices slated to remain low for a few years, we have a slow down looming in my industry.
Currently I know very little about REI, but I am a quick study, and very excited to learn and meet new people. My goal is to invest in my first property by 1st quarter of 2016. Hopefully I can one day become self employed and make REI my main source of income.
I came upon this site by searching "lifestyles unlimited reviews". After much reading through the forums, it seems I can accomplish much of the same with this website and community of people.
Thanks again, and wish me luck!
