Hello everyone!!! I'm new to the BiggerPockets community and also to REI. Really excited that I have found this community. Just received my Amazon shipment of The Book on Rental property Inventing, The Book of Flipping Houses & Investing in Real Estate with No Money Down. I know I have TONS of information to absorb but the passion and desire are there.

A little bit about myself. Married with kids, HR Director for 20+ years, and homeowner. Lost my last job 3 years ago and have been unable to find permanent work. Currently working as a part time Spanish teacher at a community college. Our home almost went into foreclosure and because of that our credit is SHOT. Thankfully, things are looking slightly better and we are slowly but surely paying off whatever small debts we have (thankfully, no credit card debts!). 

We currently came into 100k that we would like to invest into a very cheap house that we can rent and hold on to while we continue learning from this wonderful community. 

Our goal is to be able to own a few houses utilizing the BRRRR strategy over time and slowly build our RE portfolio.

All ideas, suggestions, comments and opinions welcomed.
