New Member from Central Indiana

[Eric Parks]

Hello Bigger Pockets community. 

My name is Eric and I am a new investor.  I have recently moved from northern to central Indiana (Hamilton County).

My only real estate background is the house I owned in my home town.  I purchased it as a foreclosure, fixed it up, lived there for a year and then sold it for a decent profit.  My father owns a construction company in my hometown, so I have spent my fair share of summers swinging hammers and digging holes.

I am employed as a full time engineer and I am looking towards real estate to supplement my income and build a more stable future for my fiancé and myself in this exciting stages of our lives. 

Our goal is to get enough rental income to cover all of our expenses so that everything we earn from our day jobs is just money we can put towards living the life that we want to live. 

So far I have been cramming to learn everything I can about real estate including listening to the BP podcast, reading books and reading tons of blogs.

I am excited to start this journey and I am excited for the challenge and growth this will bring to me.  From Bigger Pockets I am looking for more invaluable experience and connections to like minded individuals in the area.  I am more than willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in my area.
