Hello from the Derby City

[Wes Warren]

Hi all, 

Newbie REI from Louisville, KY here. Just moved back to Louisville from Shelbyville, KY in August and decided to rent out my home of 8 years rather than sell it. I still need to run the numbers to see if that was wise or not but it's cash flowing ok for now so I'll probably re-evaluate once the current tenants move out. I work as a Database programmer/Business Intelligence guy for a day job, but I am hoping to make the move to full time REI over time.

I am hoping to have my next property in 2017 and still need to do more research on whether I want to go multifamily or commercial storage. Currently I am looking for a good real estate focussed financial advisor to get started with.

When I am not working I am usually cycling or other exercise, enjoying home theater, spending time with my girl.  I listen to lots of audiobooks/podcasts in the car and thats how I found this awesome community! (I've been lurking a little while) I've probably listened to 20 or more BiggerPockets podcasts by now so I know there is a lot I need to learn but I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks Josh for creating this. Thanks Brandon for keeping it fun.

Wes
