[Evan Haslund]

Hello BP Community! 
My name is Evan Haslund and I recently just closed on my first house. The plan has been to live in it for about five years, then rent it out and get a bigger place. In the process of buying this house, I've been looking at ways to pay it off as quickly as possible, and as an avid listener of podcasts, I found BP. 
I've always been interested in buying a few houses and renting them out, but since I now have "the itch", I want to get more serious about getting into real estate investing. 
I've always been one to do my research before I make any big fecisions, so I'm looking to learn as much as possible. I'm currently finishing up my BAS in Business Management , and I run my own residential cleaning service, which I am also in the process of expanding. I will most likely wait until after I finish my degree to take this on, but in the mean time, I want to get involved in my local REIA and get familiar with my local housing market.
I'll be sure to ask any questions as they come. I look forward to getting involved here and meeting you guys!
