Hi all!

I have been trolling here and am loving the 50 foot view perspectives. I have a full time career but am looking for passive income as I gear up for retirement. 

I am 51 years old, have studied REI and am intrigued but I have not yet taken action and it is driving me crazy. I know if I dont take action, nothing will happen. The fear of the unknown and fear of losing a lot of money can be debilitating so I have to get past that thus I am looking for a simple launching deal. I am not looking for the homerun. I want this journey to be a marathon.

I am thinking turnkey is a good start. Many posts here have strong opinions on the subject and it has my head spinning some. I would really like to connect with people who have that experience and references to help a great guy (me) get slightly off the ground and moving forward. I will reciprocate in any way I can as soon as I can as I love to help those who have a passion but need some guidance.

Thanks for reading this!
