Entrepreneur from Algonquin, IL!
Hello to everyone at BP! I have been interested in real estate for some time and have 2 rental houses under my belt for the past 10 years. They were originally purchased to live in, which I did, and move on to other houses. One was kept as a rental for passive income and the second one I am holding on to as it was purchased in 2007 (I'm upside down) and I don't have any other exit plan for it.
I recently ran into BP from a friend and have been soaking in the knowledge since. I drove to KY and back listening to nothing but BP podcasts......even got the finance to listen in and get involved!
I just bumped up to PRO, I am looking to increase my rental portfolio. I am looking forward to learning a lot during my journey with Bigger Pockets!
Take care,
Stan
