New member from St. Louis

[Lee L.]

Hi there. My name is Lee and I am a new member and new investor in the St. Louis area. I finally jumped in the market last fall and purchased my first rental property. It's had its ups and downs but overall it's been pretty good.

At this time my plan/goal is to build up a portfolio of rental properties that have good cash flow. I'm 33 years old, so hopefully in 20-25 years I'll have a nice portfolio built up to provide a substantial income stream to compliment retirement stock investments.

I work full time so real estate is something I do on the side for now. That is the main reason I am investing in rentals (buy and hold).

I have been reading all I can on BiggerPockets and the wealth of information has been outstanding!
