New here!

[Hill A.]

Hello all, my name is Aaron and I'm currently living in coastal NC but will be moving to CA soon. I have been studying real estate investing for a few years now, having read most of Kiyosaki's books and a handful of others. I had always planned to become "financially free" but assumed it would just happen if I worked hard and saved... (My TSP account begs to differ however with 8 years of paying into it, it sits at a whopping 14k that has earned an avg of 1% interest!)

Anyway, an old platoon commander got me interested, and we are still in touch.  He's a great guy that pretty much made all of his lower level leaders read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" as professional development reading!  He is doing great with his investments now and is moving on up to multifamily.   As you probably inferred,  I am active duty military and had hoped to stay in NC because that's where I will be investing, but it is much better for my wife and daughter to be close to the rest of my family so we are heading back home.  

I have been listening to the Podcast for a few weeks now in the short amount of free time that I have on my drive to and from work and it has opened my eyes to many things that I had not learned from the books (long distance investing, share investing, partnerships, etc) so I am excited to be here and learn as much as I can.
