New Investor From KnoxDale, PA Moving to Lake Wales, FL

[Derac Shaffer]

My name is Derac Shaffer,  

I'm brand new to bigger pockets. I have always had a love for real estate. I recently discovered bigger pockets while searching Pandora for real estate podcasts to listen to and I believe its the best decision I have ever made. I'm very new to the investing world. I'm from a very small town called Knox Dale PA about 10 miles outside of Punxsutawney PA home of Punxsutawney Phil. Our real estate selection can be very slim but i have managed to fix and flip two mobile homes two residential homes and I'm currently working on another one. With the small town we live in and the very slim job opportunities plus all that life has thrown at my little family, I have lived in every single house i have fixed and flipped. 

I plan to move myself and my family (fiance and two children) to Lake Wales, FL in summer of 2020. I want to take on investing full time because it truly is my passion. Everything about real estate intrigues me and I want to build a business where i can be with my children much more than i currently am and i would love to create something they can get into growing up and someday be a huge part of as well. 

That's a little bit about myself and I'm so happy to be here. I can wait to see what bigger pockets has to offer and all the input the bigger pockets community provides. 

Thanks Everyone, 

Derac
