Newbie Couple soon to be in Salt Lake City

[Chase Nye]

Hello BP! 

My wife and I are finishing a two-year stint teaching high school in Beijing. Having been able to save real money for the first time (something that teaching state-side never allowed), we are eager to invest our new-found savings. As we finish up our final four months, we are anticipating a move to Salt Lake City where we are hoping the market will be a bit more inclusive than some of our other considerations. 

Once there, we hope to start working towards our goal of creating passive cash flow that will allow us to retire earlier and more comfortably. At this point, we are looking to slowly purchase buy-and-hold properties. I have a background in home building and plan to studying house-flipping, as a way to generate capital to further our buy-and-hold strategy. Again, slowly.

Our preparations so far include, perusing BP, listening to BP podcasts, reading the Ultimate Beginners Guide, and reading Rich Dad Poor Dad (much to say about that one!).

I think that is as far as we have gotten. We look forward to picking your brains and connecting with folks in the Salt Lake City area (assuming we don't get sidetracked and end up elsewhere). I've thrown a lot out here; thanks for reading.
