Greenville, S.C. native, and new BP member!
Hey everyone!
My name is Casey Wickline and i am from Greenville SC. I am a firefighter turned professional bobsled athlete for Team USA. Yeah, i know...how does a guy from South Carolina get involved in a winter sport in general, much less bobsled? Well long story short i went to a bobsled combine here in Greenville and i did very well, so i was invited to Lake Placid N.Y. for more testing and more tryouts. I ended up making the national team the past two years and that has taken me all over the world competing for Team USA. My goal is to make it to, and win a gold medal for the USA at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
As far as real estate goes i am a rookie in need of a lot of help and guidance. I stumbled upon the bigger pockets podcast and have been blown away with the BP community and how supportive and helpful everyone is. Being a athlete that is on the road a lot i know the importance of a good team and support system, and thats what BP seems to be, one big team and support system. So needless to say i am very excited to be joining this team.
I have always had a very big interest in real estate. I bought my first home when i was 23 and i am finally ready to purchase some investment properties. I have been doing a lot of self education and trying to learn as much as possible. I am currently reading "The Book on Rental Property Investing" and i am loving it. As far as my goals in real estate, i am most interested in acquiring rental properties for passive income and long term wealth. Again, i am new at this but the BRRRR system really appeals to me. I would also be very interested in doing flips along the way.
Well thats all i have for now. I am sure i will be speaking with some of you at some point in some of the forums. Im sure ill have plenty of questions!
