I am a Mechanical Engineer at a local utility. I have been thinking about getting starting in REI for a few years now. Recently I started talking to some friends that have rental properties and readiing a few books. I feel like I am ready to jump in.

Originally I wanted to flip houses until I could afford to buy some rental properties to build some passive income. At this point I think I want to move straight into the rental properties. I haven't made a decision on whether I want single family homes or multi-family properties. Bottom line, I still have some decisions to make, but I figured that I would go ahead and dive into the forums and introduce myself. I'm not sure how long these things usually are, but I decided to keep it short and sweet.
