My name is Jess Aranda married family of 5. Im a new investor from VA concentrating on buying homes in Winston Salem, NC. I know I am a distant investor as of rigtht now but my wife and I decided to invest in Winston Salem NC cause that where we are seeing ourselves retiring in the future. Blessed with good friends and a real good realtor property manager and broker who turned out to be reliable as well. We were convinced that this is path for us to go. I know have two investment property in NC which are giving as a small but steady cashflow. And just purchased recently with hoping that will also provide with some cashflow. I buy my houses cash within the 50-75 thousand price range. And usually will refinance them a year later after I established a renter to improve my cashflow. I am a nurse by profession been doing these profession for 20 years now. I was an immigrant from the Philippines in 2002 which was a big break for me. Cause it open up more oppurtunities for me. I am happy i found this website which really opened up my eyes with more possibilities in improving my financial independence. Avid fan of RICH DAD POOR DAD books and it really broadened my view about real estate investment. I really appreciate all the blogger out there. I have busy life I work two jobs as of now to sustain my start up business and hopefully with the investement and job at the same time will reach financially indepenedent retirement soon.

Very true ...so much opportunities living here in the U.S. I also moved from the Philippines back in '91, and went to NVCC for Physical Therapy. Worked full time, and had 4 part time jobs years ago. Bought a TH in Loudoun County at 25yrs old, and house hack for years. They paid for my entire mortgage and I travelled abroad :) Today, I own 3 rental properties and looking for a primary residence in Gainesville or Leesburg.
