Happy New Years, BP family! -A long overdue introduction
Greetings and Happy New Years to you all.
My name is Chase Jones and I live in Papillion, Nebraksa --just south of Omaha. I am a Non-Commissioned Officer in the United States Air Force. I have an academic background in clinical psychology and work experience in communications/linguistics.
I've been a member of Bigger Pockets for a year and a half. Currently, my interests in real estate is primarily rental property investing. I've been "house hacking" for 1.5 years with two roommates living in my single family home. Recently, I became convicted that I should introduce myself to the community rather than just soaking up information on the sidelines. The more I read from Brandon Turner's works, the more I bought into the mentality of networking being a lifestyle. I was captivated by his framing of real estate investing as a mentality of solving problems.
I--like almost everyone else on this site--wish to invest in real estate to create consistent passive income in order to achieve.....you guessed it, financial freedom! In a nutshell, what that means to me is a lifestyle free from certain worries; worries of dedicated work hours, financial emergencies, and most importantly, time away from loved ones.
I strongly believe in the principles of frugality, self-discipline, prudence and good stewardship. These virtues will guide me in my journey to financial independence.
Some of my personal interests include: physical exercise, travel, camping, flying my drone, shooting, reading, (binge) watching Netflix, spending time with friends and family, and mentoring others in leadership and financial management.
If any of you reading this live in the Omaha area, or anywhere at all, please feel free to message me. I'd love to meet more people with the same passion and goals as myself. I can't wait to get to know you more!
