[Joe Hammel]

Hi! Joe, from Orrville, Ohio here.

Friend referred me to BP podcasts (Sept '18) and I was hooked on real estate after the 1st one! I've since started gobbling up podcasts, webinars, and real estate books ever since!

Goal:

1. I'm here to be able Quit Manufacturing and start Full Time Real Estate 30-35 years old (5-10 yrs) Kills me spending so much of my time working. I'm a passionate person so I put a lot of effort into work. I'm here to put that effort towards something more directed at growing myself.

2. Once Goal #1 is met, I'm sure Growing the Business will come next

Background:

- Bought raw land when i graduated college (2016) which I'm now under contract to sell for a nice profit to help me get started in Real Estate Investing.

- Will be moving to Michigan, little NE of Detroit in the Spring. This is when I plan to Launch my Real Estate Investing Career! Family is in Ohio though, so I'll be back.

- Selling current house, which will be a nice Fix and Flip deal to add some more Capital

Real Estate Investing Plan:

- Learn as much as possible

- Will keep my job until I'm making an equal amount of maintainable income off of Real Estate.

- Do what the deal is but focus on:

1. BRRRR strategy (if needed/applicable) to get started on a couple single Family

2. Maybe start acquiring some multi family rentals

3. If the numbers say "fix and flip" go for it!

4. Get Properties paid off and Cruise!

- Learn as much as possible

- Find good deals!
