What a site this is!!  Incredible resource of information and people.

I have been dreaming about real estate for some time now.  Seems I always come up with a reason that it is not a good time for me.  Now that I am approaching retirement age, I am thinking more seriously about real estate again.  Ideally I would like to build up to $50000 (in my pocket) a year.  The thought of flipping makes my blood boil (this is good) and the idea of buy/hold/rent I see as a long term solution.  Although I have taken classes, searched for properties and read about others doings, I am lacking the ability to make the first jump.  I hope to use this site to learn more and make personal connections.

@Robert Car, welcome.  This is a great site to learn from others who are actively involved.  There is a good meetup in Fairfax hosted by @John Rubino, @Roger Lin, and @Justin Pierce.  If you reach out to them I am sure they will get you on the invite list.  Good luck!
