Hey All! 

I'm an engineer by day and I really caught the real estate bug within the past year. I'm 28 and something about the corporate hamster wheel pushed the right button. I couldn't see myself working for the next 30-40 years at a desk job doing more or less the same thing while working my prime years away. I am convinced that Real Estate will allow me to pursue some of the things I've always wanted to do while also giving me the financial freedom and security of the corporate world. I've committed to a 5 year plan that will allow me to quit my job and focus solely on real estate (and other endeavors). My long term strategy is to buy and hold multifamily units for passive income and to fund those units by flipping single family homes. I am fascinated by the success stories that I read on a daily basis on BiggerPockets. I'm excited to use these stories to create a model for success that I can follow to reach my own goals.

I just purchased my first unit (A duplex in Lansing, MI) in December. The experience has been rewarding so far and I'm excited to grow and further refine my strategy as I learn and soak up knowledge from experienced real estate professionals. Happy to join this community!
