My name is Aaron Miley, I'm from Spokane, Washington. I am a total newbie to real estate (haven't even bought a home yet). I recently made the decision to leave my old life in Information Technology after 12 years and find a new career path. After my last layoff, I did some soul searching and realized that I.T. was not aligned with my life goals. I realized that I wasn't going to have a nice retirement, I wasn't going to be able to send my kids to college, I wasn't going to be debt free (at least debt that isn't leveraged for something else), and I that was going to continue to tread water if I didn't make a drastic change. I landed on real estate as the potential income for someone motivated could be quite high. After doing more research, I learned more about property investment and realized that it would be something my analytical mind would enjoy.

I ended up make 3 major goals for my new calling.

1) I will to learn how to buy and sell homes.
2) I will buy and flip homes for a profit.
3) I will own as many rental properties as possible to have a steady income stream.

With these goals in mind, I started learning where to start and began with learning real estate as an agent.

I love podcasts and found Bigger Pockets while searching for real estate related podcasts. In just a couple days, I've listened to several of them and have found myself captivated.

I'm very glad I found a new community to take part in and you can expect to see me with lots of questions in the future!

Thanks!
