I have currently lived in Stephens City, Va for about 3 years now and currently employed full time as a Restaurant Manager... Ya I know not much of a dream job. My goal is to transition into REI full time down the road.

Last year my wife and I bought are first home after many years of renting!! 13 to be exact. At that point in our life we lived in a market where it was just to costly to raise a family (Springfield, VA) and continued to rent. After buying our first home and getting that feeling of achievement to say the least it lit a fire inside and all I want is more.

The first time I was interested to get into the REI business I must have been 17 years old and my best friend and I drove to Chapel Hill, NC to see some "really cheap houses" we found online. Reality struck and well I was 17 and had no money so that was that. I got a job as a server to make cash to buy my first home and well it never happened till last year lol.. My passion is for RE but I have always found a reason it shouldn't be. I am 35 now and still have not even attempted to reach my goals and I am sick of it.

My RE goals are to learn all avenues of this business and eventually have a portfolio of properties throughout multiple states. I know this can't happen overnight or even in the next few years but I am sure with the talented people that use this site, I will have a better chance on finding experienced RE professionals to help me avoid certain situations or experiences they have had to overcome.
