Stay at home mom investor from CA
Hi All. I started investing in RE in 2008 because i needed a tax break because I was a single registered nurse and couldn't afford a house in my area on my own. I initially got suckered into buying the RE moguls classes and spent $28k and convinced my boyfriend (now husband) to also join and spend $7K. I took action and bought 2 properties out of state in TN in 2008, and my husband just recently purchased 2 properties in OH last year via the Marshall Reddick Network. Our ultimate goal is time freedom to spend with our babies. I sort of regret paying for those mogul classes but at the same Im glad I took action, I just wish I had found bigger pockets sooner! Looking forward to continue my learning with you all and taking more action!
