New Income Investor from Colorado Springs

[Daniel Wolcott]

Hey everyone, my name is Daniel Wolcott and currently enlisted in the Air Force stationed in Colorado Springs. I received my degree in finance and accounting from the University of South Florida prior to enlisting.  I have been intrigued by real estate for many years but I am slightly ashamed to say I have never had the courage to start investing.  I guess I am enlisting to Abe Lincoln's motto of "Give me 6 hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first 4 sharpening the axe." I have spent many years reading investing books, taking real estate classes and enrolling in real estate seminars but yet no I have not taken the most important step of taking action.  I even convinced my wife to start a career in real estate so I could live vicariously through her.  She has achieved great success as a realtor in Colorado Springs and has re-inspired my ambitions of investing in real estate. 

I now have the financial security/confidence to take action and I am looking to start investing in income properties, preferably multi-family homes.  My goal is to have one income property by the end of the year and start finding at least 4 properties per year in the following years. 

I also have interest but limited knowledge in flipping houses and investing in notes.
