Living in Oregon
I have owned property for 40 years, mostly single family homes I lived in or rented out. I currently own 2 single family homes and a duplex as well as one commercial building that I lease to my speciality contracting business.
I am mostly a "buy and pray" type investor and an looking into formalizing my real estate investments into a more business like arrangement.
I have much to learn but at 63 my long term investing may extend to my progeny

Hey @Lester Appel welcome to the site and I love how you put it that way -- buy and pray. Lol I suggest you listen to the podcasts, they are great! :)
