Hey everyone! (Introduction post) from Philadelphia, PA

[Derek Rodenbeck]

Hey everyone! 

My name is Derek Rodenbeck, nice to meet you. 

So, I usually have dog hair on my clothes, but I can't refuse a hug from a k-9. I'm an Army veteran that will always say yes to a hike, and as I'm sure anyone reading can relate, I have a MASSIVE interest in Real Estate investing.

Some of you all might have already met my wife Tamara on here. We have a 9 month old daughter, and she causes enough loving chaos in our lives to keep it all interesting. I'm new to the game, but my wife and I tend to think about-- and or talk about real estate a lot. Just excited about it all, the process of it, the people, learning, really everything. 

Currently I am finishing up my BA at UPenn and I work at Wharton in Marketing along with doing wedding photography on the side. My wife and I are working towards moving to Phoenix in the next year and a half. 

My wife and I dream big, but that's the only way to dream as far as I'm concerned. Our goals are to grow together as a team through this new venture. Meet people within the community and become involved. Offer support to whoever might be in need- hopefully the more we learn the more we can offer over time. And of course- house hack, invest, and so on. 

So, I think that's about it, I'm excited to get to know you all and thankful that this exists so we have the opportunity to change our lives.
