[Randy Hamilton]

My name is Randy Hamilton. I'm 46 yrs old, married with 3 daughters. I am a roofer by trade. I have a full time job in Philadelphia along with my own small company. If anyone wants to know anything else about me, please don't hesitate to ask. I will work on the profile pic.

My only experience purchasing real estate is the purchase of our home 17 yrs ago. I've also been a tenant a couple times.

I have spent the past few months searching different real estate related topics on the internet, which led me to BP, and trying to learn a little about the market I'm interested in(Philadelphia). I have a plan which I believe is actionable. That plan is....

 I would like to use small multi family properties to build a sustainable portfolio, not only for my family now, but, that I can turn over to my girls some day.

Now that I look at it, maybe that's more an idea than a plan... No, that's the plan, that much I know.

The other things I know are,

I don't know much.

It won't be easy.

I won't be a millionaire in 18 months(man this 1 would be nice though)

I'm looking forward to both the journey and the challenge!

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read and hopefully reply to this post. I look forward to becoming an active and valuable(hopefully) member of the community.
