Mostly brand new and looking into out of state investing

[Joseph Woodman]

Hi I'm Joseph Woodman

30 years old with two girls (5 & 3) and a boy on the way.

I'm in the red hot (read: expensive) Northern Colorado market, but just had my mind opened to out of state investing. 

I think flipping would be fun, but my real goal is to go long term buy and hold. 

My back ground is in church and non-profit work, but one year ago (March '17) I got into slingin' mortgages.

I'm highly analytical and I'm addicted to spreadsheets. I am content to work a  day job as long I need to while building this us, but I would like to be able to make career decisions independent of financial needs by my 40th birthday.
