Afternoon ladies and gents,

Currently living in NYC area but don't plan on being here for too long. I was a homeowner and ended up being in Orlando years ago and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Joined the military and been traveling since then. I started reading real estate books when I realized I could do alright with house-hacking. Unfortunately my immediate area isn't exactly the most affordable place. Once I get my main job situation figured out and plant roots somewhere, my goal is to own five rental properties  in five years and manage them myself. I love fixing things and am excited to be a landlord again. I'm currently running the gauntlet on real estate books, and the BP ones, and also started listening to the podcast. Although I've got a long way to go as I'm on episode 18! I hope to gain a lot of knowledge from this forum and the community. I'm excited to read up on long distance managing to see if that is a viable option.
