Just introducing myself.
Hi everyone, My name is Doug, I am in the Metro Detroit area. I am just starting out on my Real Estate journey...a little later than many on this site. I have been in the IT industry for 30+ years. I one had a real estate license (20 some years ago), but all they wanted me to do was open the white pages and make phone calls...needless to say in my mid 20's (before the internet) that wasn't enough action...since the only other real estate experience was owning my own house....
I have reading a lot, listening to the podcast, and attending some of the webinars and am soaking it all in....I would like to build for our retirement, just figuring out how i want to do it!!
