Howdy everyone!
I'm new to the forums and relatively new to the real estate game. I bought my first multi family (a three unit 1/2 commercial space) in 2010. I'm just now selling it and am hoping to use the profits (roughly 170k) to refurbish a lovely historic home I bought in my home town and purchase a few more multi family units for cash flow.
I am 28, I have a two year old I'm raising by my self and I am 'retired' for the time being. With some luck, advice from you lovely people, and a nice portfolio I would like to stay retired as long as possible while still being able to live comfortably with my daughter.
Greatly looking forward to learning from all of you!
