Jason from Madison, Wi

[Jason Phipps]

I am brand new to REI, and currently do not own any homes. I am looking to develop a buy and hold strategy to help fund retirement.

My wife and I had our first child a little over 9 months ago, which has motivated me beyond belief to build a business that I can fund our retirement, while also helping provide a head start for my daughter and any future children my wife and I have.

I look forward to "meeting" you!

There is a good mix of people there, with experience from 30 years to a few weeks.  There is a lot of knowledge, but it is a relaxed atmosphere (not intimidating).  I think the best part is the networking.  You can make a ton of connections easily.

If you go to the meeting, make sure to go to the "meeting after the meeting" at the Great Dane in Fitchburg.
