Enough creeping, time to introduce myself.

[Shane Johnson]

Hey BP, my name is Shane and am newly vocal on the forum. I signed up awhile back, but have been busy with other things, and only recently had my passions for real estate reinvigorated. I am a 26 year old Sales Exec, college drop out, with a very passionate entrepreneurial spirt. I currently own two houses, both purchased in owner occupy situations 3 years apart, the 2nd being closed on 3 months ago. The goal is buy/hold 5 properties by age 30, (and maybe flip some?) so I have a lot of work to do. I am currently renovating this 2nd house: removed carpet and refinished original oak floors in walnut, repainted whole main level, gutted bathroom to the floor and joists, etc. I intend to finish the attic into a master suite, and add a non-conforming BR/office, LR and bathroom to the basement to more than double the finish sq footage of the home. So far this website is providing lots of awesome info on every aspect of the business. Thank you for all the professionals that take time to contribute. You will find me mostly absorbing everything there is to learn about flips and rentals, rehabing them, and creative financing ideas. So far between BP and J Scotts website, I havent been able to stop reading, up until 1-2 AM every night. I look forward to reading more and eventually being able to contribute.
