Hello Everyone,

I come from pretty humble beginnings, but my parents always told me that my education was my way out. I followed their advice, worked my way through college, and am now a software developer. I do pretty ok and am fairly happy.

A few years ago as I drove around in my car, I found myself asking the same question over and over, "Who owns all these big houses and how can they afford it?" They all can't be doctors, or high execs I thought to myself. Then I stumbled onto Rich Dad Poor Dad and learned that financial independence and how I viewed money was the other side of the coin my parents didn't tell me (or really know about).

So I started to think how I could solve the "riddle" of financial independence. Real estate investment makes a lot of sense to me as a financial investment. I am here to learn all I can, contribute where I can, and take the plunge (and make some friends too!).

Thank you All and I hope to contribute to this community!
