Newbie from Fort Smith, Arkansas

Hey guys, I ended up here after reading Brandon's real estate investing book and listening to the BP podcast. I'm an Anesthesiologist with a wife and three kids. I'm interested in real estate because I hate sending money off to an investor and being at the mercy of the stock market. I'd like to eventually replace half, if not all, of my income in 15-20 years with buy and hold investing, preferably in the market that I live in or nearby. I'm still in the information gathering phase but I will likely buy my first property in the next 6 months. 

I'm really glad to have found this resource of information and potential contacts to help me achieve my goal.

Thanks everyone!

Jeff

@Jeff Ostrander, @Austin Goebel, I'm from Ft Smith but currently live in Springfield, MO and have been investing in RE for almost 20 years while working a full time job. A couple years ago I started helping other busy professionals invest in real estate through multifamily apartment syndications. I'm speaking on this topic at the River Valley Navigators REI meeting in Van Buren on Oct 15th if you want to learn more. Please let me know if I can help!
