Green in Coeur d'Alene, ID

[Eugene Rich]

Good day my fellow investors!

  My name is Gene and I am about as green as you can get with regards to my real estate background. Cheers to the newbies! I am beyond excited for this new path in life that I stumbled upon while listening to a business podcast which ultimately led me to Bigger Pockets. I currently reside in Hayden, Idaho with my fiancé and our three children. We made the move from western WA where we both were raised to raise our family in the beautiful mountains of Idaho after taking a road trip to the area and falling in love with it

I am currently a Nursing student at NIC, with approx. 2 years left until I am licensed. My wife is also a Nurse and works at two of the local hospitals. After spending countless hours researching (as I'm sure all of you have) we've decided that we want to focus our journey with real estate investing in residential single family homes, multi-family homes and eventually apartment buildings. As of now, we own a home in Hayden which we plan to utilize for a HELOC to BRRR our first investment property, while also utilizing at least 80% of my income to further leverage our investments considering we are able to get by on one income with our current situation. Though our plan is still in its infancy, I am hoping to develop a solid foundation of knowledge in real estate over the next couple of years before hitting the market with the aims of purchasing 10 homes our first year (given we find properties that will serve our goals).

  As we set out on this journey we aim to develop relationships and partnerships with those of you also pursuing this wonderful passion! 

I look forward to becoming a part of this great community of people,

I hope to see you all around in the forums!
