Newbie From Birmingham, AL

[Tonia Myers]

Hello Everyone!  My name is Tonia Myers. I reside in and want to invest in Birmingham, AL.  I have a job (Just Over Broke ...lol) and I am looking to build some real wealth and freedom for myself and my husband.  We started a ministry here in Birmingham and want to ensure that we have several streams of income that will sustain us as we move throughout life.  Just this past week my husband's grandfather was terminally ill and I was unable to completely devote my time to him and his family because I had to work.  Fortunately, my job is virtual but I was expected to really produce and could not afford to just take a couple weeks off to deal with my family issues.  I can't keep living like that.  

I have bought 3 personal homes in my life but never any investment properties. My main and initial goal is to create cash flow then I would like to move into self-directed IRA purchases for retirement.

I was introduced to Bigger Pockets through Clayton Morris.  I found him on youtube and he was talking about bigger pockets so I decided to click on over and check it out.   Let's just say at any given time you are around me you will either hear a podcast going or hear me talking about something I learned on this site.

I want to thank you all in advance fo all the insight and information that will be shared between us!
