[Daymon Olson]

Hello everyone,

  My name is Daymon Olson and my very soon to be wife, Lisa, live in a rural area, west of Fort Worth. I am a retired military veteran.  We have a single family house hack, my old house, that has opened our eyes to that various benefits of having rental property.  My day to day job is as a critical facility engineer for a data center, with my specialty being HVAC and commercial electrical.  My goal is to create passive income that isn't directly linked to the stock market, so Lisa and I can relax in the next 12-15 years.  I came about Bigger Pockets just this past week.  I realized my podcast app wasn't enabled for data and once I enabled it, Bigger Pockets came up as the first recommendation.  Over this past week I have listened to the Podcast for about 4-5 hours a day.  I have printed off the "Ultimate Beginners Guide" and "How to Buy a Duplex- The Ultimate Step by Step Guide" and have ordered "Finding and Funding Great Deals" to get me a little up to speed on making informed decisions.  I want to be able to buy a duplex in the next 12-18 months and grow to triplexes or quads from there, eventually.

  I will be sifting through all the knowledge I am finding on here and at some point, I will be reaching out with questions or asking for clarification.  Thank you for providing this forum to learn and grow and I look forward to talking to some of you in the future.
