[Ricky Plemons]

Hey everybody! Nice to meet you all, my name is Ricky and I'm brand new to BiggerPockets. I was referred to this site by a buddy of mine with similar goals as myself and am so glad he told me about it. I'm 26 years old and engaged to be married next year. Have worked a full time for about 6 years now and am in school full time pursuing a degree in Business Marketing and Professional Sales. Bought my first house back in September of 2015 as a foreclosure and came in the did a pretty big renovation on the house and fell in love with the process of taking something broken and making it new and better. I sit in a cubicle for 8+ hours and day and wonder if there's something better out there. I want to get up everyday and be in love with my career. I'm not looking for the easy way out, I'm not looking for get rich quick schemes, I simple want to do something fun that I'm passionate about and have more time to spend with my family. I'm very interested in the flipping aspect of real estate investment and multifamily properties, any tips or advice on how to get started would be more than appreciated. I'm a hardworking guy who's tired of working for "the man" and want to be my own boss and build a life of my own, something I can be proud of and happy with.
