Newbie Orlando, Florida

[Jonathan Ramos]

Hello Everyone,

I've been following bigger pockets for a few years. I believe it is finally for me to stop hiding behind the shadows and introduce myself. I am Newbie (Jonathan) in the Orlando, Florida market. I own one property which I currently have rented out (for only 1.5 years). Currently work for IT company in the Central Florida area and we service companies from around the world. I do have a real estate license that I don't really actively use.

My real estate goal is being able to provide  legacy for my family. To ensure if I am gone that my family is well taken care of financially. My short term goal is to own at least 10 rental properties within the next 8 years (I have 1 now 9 more to go) with positive cash flow (ideally free and clear). I also want to be able to decide when I want to go to work instead of being dictated when I should go to work. 

Thank You All,

Jonathan
