Hello, New Member here.

[Stephen Douglas]

My name is Stephen Douglas, I bought my first property June 28th 2017 with the VA loan, I am currently house hacking out of that. I am originally from Massachusetts. I still work in Cambridge as a Operations Manager for a security company. I am also in the Massachusetts National Guard, my 10th year anniversary was January 2018.

'One of the employees in the office actually recommended me the biggerpockets podcast (which I am now hooked on). He also let me borrow the book "THE BOOK ON Investing in Real Estate with No and low money DOWN" which I am currently reading.  

As of right now I have no plans to quit my W2 job. My short term goals right now is to purchase 2-3 more multifamily properties in the Woonsocket area (I am also looking in the Cumberland, Pawtucket, Providence areas) by the end of 2019. Right now I am making offers on my second property and hoping to hear back this week from one of them. Long term, I would like to just keep buying and holding, I would like my W2 job to be a supplemental income with my real focus being in real estate, and if I do decide to quit my job, that will hopefully be a realistic option on the table.
