Newbie from Louisville, KY

[Russ Fallon]

Hey there! Name is Russ Fallon from Louisville, KY. I'm in my mid-20's and work in the J-town area in the manufacturing field.

I've had a few entrepreneurial experiences, but decided to get serious when a loved one was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. It came as a shock and really opened up my eyes to how precious life is. I've realized I need to be doing all I can to live life to the fullest. I'm really interested in starting my RE investing career with long-term buy/hold strategies in rental properties. My general long-term goal is financial freedom, so that I can spend more time with family and enjoy living while I can.

Some books I've read that have gotten me started on this journey: Rich Dad Poor Dad, The 4-Hour Work Week, Building Wealth One House at a Time, and The Book on Rental Property Investing (which is what brought me to BiggerPockets!)

I'm excited to be here and just itching to get started on my first deal here in Louisville. Look forward to making friends here on BP. Folks in Louisville/Kentuckiana areas, give me a shout!
