Hello BP community. I have been a free member for over a year. I have decided it is time to get serious and get my first deal done so I have gone PRO. I am interested in buy and hold rentals as my retirement plan. I look forward to learning as much as I can from this site as I progress to my goal of financial freedom.
I am an Accountant and I work in Government. I recently graduated with a BS in Accounting at 42 years old. My previous career was in healthcare as a Physical Therapist Assistant. I decided that I didn't want to work in physical therapy until I retired, so I made a dream of mine come true and went back to school. I am married to my wife of 14 years and we have two young boys ages 6 and 8.
I enjoy what I do, but I want to have the flexibility to work when I want and spend more time with my family. Real estate investing is how I plan to achieve that flexibility.
I look forward to the journey.
Thanks for having me.
