Newbie from Spokane, Wa

[Jeffrey Messee]

My name is Jeff Messee and I am from Spokane, Washington. I don't have a background in real estate but I have always wanted to get started in Flipping Houses and I finally made the decision to go after it. I do have a full time job working for PerkinElmer for the Viacord division. My goal for real estate investing to to build a solid foundation so that I can build a sustainable legacy for my children to take over when I am long gone, (which hopefully will be a long time from now). I was introduced to BiggerPockets when I started reading The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing.
