[Alex Sanfilippo]

Hello BiggerPockets community,
My name is Alex Sanfilippo. I was referred to this website by a friend / investor who told me this was the place to be to start learning what it means to be a successful real estate investor.

I currently work in the aerospace industry. I am a partial owner of a mid-size aviation company. The company that I am with is currently pending sale to a much larger company. Once that happens I plan on retiring from the industry.

I have always been passionate about real estate and investing. I have had 2 rental properties in the past which I purchased shortly after I started a virtual tour company for homes for sale and for rent many years ago. I transitioned out as the job in aerospace became available due to the market collapse.

My goal is to end up in real estate investing. I would like for this to replace my job in after my aerospace company is sold. I'm believing that 2016 will be my last year for having a traditional 9-5 job!

Thanks in advance for welcoming me to this community,
Alex Sanfilippo
