[Michael Strobel]

Hi!

My name is Mike Strobel and I am a current senior at Liberty University studying Project Management. I am also a Marine Corps veteran (as you can probably tell from my profile picture). I served on active duty from 2007-2012 and will be graduating this spring with my degree from Liberty. Ever since I was in high school I have had an interest in real estate investing but just didn't know where to go to learn. Almost got sucked into a couple "guru" sessions but fortunately didn't fall them. A friend of mine told em about BiggerPockets so I started listening to the podcasts. Now I cant stop listening. I really find them educational, valuable, and encouraging. So I wanted to create an account and learn more about the BiggerPockets website.

I am currently interested in flipping in my current market of Lynchburg, Virginia, even though it is a smaller market, it is quite affordable and Liberty University is growing by leaps and bounds year after year. I want to start investing there to increase cash reserves however I have an end goal of buying and holding multiple properties that are free and clear in order to sustain a comfortable, but not lavish, lifestyle for myself and my family.
