Hello,
My name is Joe and I have stumbled across REI. I am a software developer who wanted to start my own software consulting company, but after reading about REI I have been quite interested and want to try my hand at it. I am 30 years old and I am only renting, but I hope to buy my first property next year and would absolutely love becoming a landlord. I have recently moved from NJ to FL where it seems real estate is more attainable. Any tips that I should know? Thank you for having me in this forum!
