Brand NEW guy

[Lee Jaggers]

Hello everyone. My name is Lee. I live in Kentucky near the Louisville, Kentucky area but just south of it actually. Just found and registered on this site two days ago. I have been listening to the BP podcast constantly and trying to learn the ropes. First off, I am a college graduate while serving in the Army NG out of Indiana. I work as a police officer out of Louisville. I am currently 29 years old and have always had retirement on my mind since before I even turned 18. I am not one of those typical millennial's. I am a hard working and determined individual who gives anything I work towards 100%. So, right now I am in the beginning phase of wanting to start my own business. I want to buy properties and rent them out. I know there is a lot of potential in this market and it has always interested me. My wife and I constantly watch home improvement shows to the point where we are noticing our love for remodeling. Honestly, I do not have any experience just yet with it but I have ties to people who do. I have already talked to a few people by making connections in the HVAC area, Real Estate as well as home improvement area as well. So as you can see in the last few days I am attempting to connect with people in order to start this process. 1 year goal: buy a property and start renting it out. 3 year goal: buy a property and flip it. 5 year goal: have multiple properties and have them rented out but also have my little business successful and charging on. So, from here I just need advice. I'm going to continue to learn on my own, listen to the podcast and seek advice from the forums and my contacts. I have tons of questions that would be too much to write. Yet, one of the main questions I have that worries me(due to my experience in law) do I need to go ahead and seek a lawyer and sit down and have this talk with them? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you all and hope to continue to connect soon! Respectfully, Lee
