Newbie from St Louis, Missouri

[Chris Harsy]

Hello BiggerPockets Community!! My name is Chris Harsy and I am from St Louis Missouri. My friend turned me on to BiggerPockets a few months back and I have been listening to the podcasts every chance I get. I do not have very much experience in real estate except buying my first house, but I have done alright with that. I am currently a stay at home dad. I have a two year old daughter and a two month old daughter. My wife works between  50-70 hours a week as a nurse practitioner and I know that it kills her that she cannot be home with us as much as she would like. My biggest and most important goal in investing would be to be able to let me wife work less or not at all. Through listening to the BiggerPockets Podcasts I know a plan is important and my goal by the end of the year is to have a clear direction. (it my seem like a while but hey! I have an infant and a toddler...i literally have like 2 hours a day or less to myself) I am very interested in buy and hold and that will be my ultimate goal. That being said I am completely open to any possibility that will move me to my ultimate goal. I would like to end by wishing you all the best of luck with all of your endeavors and I can't wait to see you around the site!!
