Newbie from Cedar Rapids, IA
Hello my name is Rod Hullaby and I am new to investing. I have just a little real estate experience as my wife is a realtor. I currently work as an insurance agent. My goals are:
1- create supplemental income
2- create an amount that will assist with retirement
3- provide a revenue stream that my children can have for the future
I joined BP after hearing so many positive comment on various podcasts. Right now I will take in as much information as I can then hopefully get to a point where I can share my experience with other people that may hopefully assist them in reaching their goals.
