New investor in Roswell, GA

[Walter G.]

I'm Wally Goldsmith from Roswell, GA.  I work full time as an IT director and my wife is a public school teacher.  I have a primary residence and have been renting out a self-managed midtown condo for 12 years.   I'd like to convert that second investment into a multi-family property (duplex?) closer to the suburb in which I live and would also like to switch to a management company in the process.  Beyond that, we'll see how it all goes on the path toward financial independence.  I've been attending webinars, listening to podcasts, and reading quite a bit on the community.  There's so much information out here I just hope I can gather in the right parts for where I'm going.  Thanks for the supportive community that's here.  I look forward to learning much more.
