Hello BiggerPockets Community!

My name is Rob Lamb and I am a 24 year old Cost Accountant that lives in Rochester Hills Michigan and I am just starting to learn about Real Estate Investing. My goal is to be my own boss in one way shape or form, whether that be having enough rental income I can quit my job and go full time or using that rental income to start another business and keep Real Estate Investing on the side. But for now I am just going to try and soak up this wealth of information here on BiggerPockets!
