Newbie from Charlotte, Michigan

[Elijah Raney]

Hi everyone my name is Elijah! I wish I could tell you I have some experience in real estate investing but at this point I have only attended a couple work shops. I learned a little bit from the work shops but it was like information over load so I don't remember all I learned cause it was all brand new to me. I am originally from Michigan left the state for about two years to live in Mayport Florida where I was stationed at while I was in the Navy. Then moved back to Michigan cause I just couldn't live with out winter.... 

Right now I am a hard working assembly line worker at spartan motors. I assembly FedEx trucks. This job can be pretty grueling at times which is part of why I want to get into real Estate investing. Oneven I need to put my money into something that is going to make me more money so that I don't have to work so hard for it. Two I want to quit my job so I have more time to go and explore the world. My goals in real estate are:

Learn how to do a foreclosure and turn around and whole sale it.

Then learn how to get a passive residual income stream going through Duplex,triplex, 4-plex rentals and lease option homes.

Then get a portfolio of income streams going through creative financing: seller financing, discount note buying, and tax liens and deeds.

I joined biggerpockets to gain more knowledge to help me acheive my real estate goals.
