Just getting started. Living in Utah, from the midwest (Indiana)

[Jeff Engebretsen]

Hey, so I'm Jeff. This all may be TMI but this is a networking place so I guess I'll just throw it all out there.

I'm just starting my journey in real estate investing. I listened to Rick Dad Poor Dad when I started college and have had real estate/business in the back of my mind ever since. I own my house and a Townhouse (bought it for family to live in. I know I know, renting to family and all that.)

I'm living in Utah county Utah but I'm from Indiana and Tennessee. I expect that as we start investing more it'll be in the midwest/south for better costs which means long distance investing. Though I'd like to settle down back in those parts so maybe it won't be long distance forever. I'd like to transition into multi unit investing some day because in my head I see it as more manageable but with a PM in place maybe it doesn't matter.

For my day job, I'm a software developer (Android historically). Our family's goals are to pay off our consumer/student loan debts and have enough cash flow that I can cut back my hours (maybe to 0 hours) and travel full time in our travel trailer for a few years and then maybe go back to work but probably not. We're wanting to do that within 5 years.
