[Shane Seeley]

Hello BP community! My name is Shane Seeley and I live in Geneseo, IL. My first exposure to real estate was through my father. He bought some small multi family units when I was in high school and I was his free labor for rehabbing. Several years later, after serving in the USAF, I landed in Illinois. While working in different occupations I've always felt the pull to explore real estate investing further. 

Currently I work full-time for a local company that processes and delivers agricultural seed and other supplies. It's not a bad job, it pays the bills and provides pretty good healthcare insurance but it's not my passion. I love woodworking and making houses look better, both inside and out, and I get to do that part-time currently with a local real estate group. 

My long term real estate goals are basically two fold; to grow into full-time construction and use those resources to obtain long term cash flow for retirement.
