[Jacob Benninger]

Hello everyone! My name is Jake and I am very interested in learning about buying and holding residential multifamily and single family homes. I am currently studying Accounting and business at Schenectady County Community College and UAlbany, while working for Stewart's corporation. 

I recently became interested in Real Estate after talking with several landlords in my Fiancee's family. They have held property for a long time and were able to pay for their children's education and weddings with the money they had saved. After seeing their success, I started to consider Real Estate as an avenue for my own wealth creation. 

My goals for my investing are to replace our W-2 income, start a tax and bookkeeping practice and position myself for an early retirement. I really enjoy my job, so I want to learn how to create a scalable business that I can control while working full time.
