Greetings from a newbie!

[Jon Summers]

Hey everyone! My name is Jon and I'm from West Palm Beach, FL. I moved to Greenville NC with my wife almost one year ago. After college,  I got my start in the medical field as a CT technologist. I quickly realized that I didn't want to work as a tech for the rest of my life, so I moved to Greenville NC where my wife is originally from. I went back to school and earned a business degree. I had the opportunity to work at a company where I am currently employed. This is my first desk job, and I am determined to break free. Sitting in a dark office with no windows is just not for me. I realized that if I am going to be on a computer all day, I am at least going to work for myself. I've had the entrepreneurial itch for a long time, but I could never nail down exactly what I wanted to do. My dad was a general contractor and owned a handful of rental properties. I grew up mowing the lawns of my dad's rental properties. Instead of hiring painters and cleaners, my dad put me and my siblings to work, getting it ready for the next renter. I hated when a vacancy occurred, because I knew that meant I would be on my hands and knees, scrubbing the dirty tile and cleaning toilets. I also watched my dad flip houses and make great profits. I have a lot to learn, and that's why I am here. My current goal is to figure out the best way to finance my first investment property. I am very excited about real estate investing, and I cannot wait to get started!
