Medical Professional from greater New Orleans, LA getting started

[Arden Ballard]

Hello all! I just came across BiggerPockets after seeing several YouTube videos and listening to some starter Podcasts. I honestly don't know what's taken me so long... 

My name is Arden Ballard. I'm a Physician Assistant residing in Madisonville, LA (about 40 minutes from downtown New Orleans). I grew up watching/helping my parents rent and flip vacation homes, and I have two properties under my belt--one was a success, one was not! 

My wife and I recently inherited what will become a humble single family rental. It's currently being touched up and will soon be on the market. 

I have a lot of learning to do, but my main interest is multi-family dwellings, commercial spaces in the future, possible vacation rentals and/or trailer parks. 

My goal is to reach 10k in RE income by 2023. but I aspire for much more than that. 

Looking forward to connect and get to know you all!
