Newbies looking in Huntington WV area

[Melissa Williamson]

Hi all, 

I am Mel, my husband is David.  We are so incredibly new but ready to learn all we can to help supplement our income and eventually be able to live off the passive income and not worry about a thing.  We have a 5 year plan to move to our goldilocks zone of the US, my husband is originally from the area south of Huntington and his whole family is still in the area.  Currently we are living in Houston TX, but eventually we plan to move to an area between WV and the Canadian border.  I am from Ontario, so WV area is much closer than TX ;)  We have 4 children, David is 42 and I am 40.  We are wanting to learn as much as we can because we are ready to take this step and make our finacial dreams a possibility

There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
