Newbie from Denver, CO

[Steve Barfknecht]

Hello BP Forum members!

I have been a BP podcast listener for months but decided to take the plunge, complete my BP profile, and get my introduction out there.  I live in Denver, CO but was born/raised in Wisconsin.  The Denver market is at a price point not attractive to me as an investor so I am looking for investment opportunities in the midwest, starting in areas like Marion County IN and parts of Wisconsin.  Like many of you, I have a regular 9x5 job in another field (Network Engineer) but am very interested in building a rental investment portfolio through a buy/hold strategy.  Through passive income, I hope to gradually supplement my salary and replace it completely within 5-8 years.  Areas of interest for me are buy&hold strategy, turnkey properties, and creative financing.  

I am green but hope not to be for long!  Look forward to chatting with many of you as I begin the BP journey!
