Newbie from Charlottesville, Virginia!

[Alexander Stromberg]

Hello! My name is Alexander Stromberg. I go by Alex usually. I'm mostly a homegrown Virginian. I currently am an Air Traffic Controller, although I'm hoping to change that through investing, and I'm mid way through a business degree. I learned a few buzz words from a TED talk on youtube, which led me to BP. I've watched quite a few podcasts over that past month and am done lurking in the shadows! 

I'm not quite sure what my exact niche will be yet, though I am working my way through some of the suggested begginners tasks. I'm leaning towards a house hack into a multiplex, followed by more buy and hold rentals. Atleast I was, until I had my mind blown with the potential of buying non-performing mortgages, and just finished podcast 229, which showed me how AirBNB can be more the a small side gimmick. I'd love to hear about more people's experiences to help me finalize my choice of initial area of study. Whichever route I take, I know that I'm planning to build a system to enable the business to be truly passive. As Brandon likes to say, I don't want to buy a life time job.
