New Real Estate Investor In Southern New Hampshire

[Eddie O'Grady]

Hi Guys,

My name is Eddie and I've been lurking on forums for a while now and reading/listening to bigger pockets podcast and absorbing info like crazy.  I live and work in Southern New Hampshire with my wife, two kids and black lab.  

I don't mind my job as a CFP® working for a large investment firm however my goal is early financial freedom through the flexibility that real estate can give you through passive income, BRRRR strategies, 1031 exchanges and all the other amazing things that real estate has to offer. I would like to build a portfolio which can help get me out of the rat race

Recently it dawned on me how much of my cash flow goes to pay my mortgage and after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and learning about the mindset of my home actually being a liability rather than an asset if it's not providing some income, my goal is to sell my home and move into an owner occupied rental property to immediately increase my cash flow for other investment opportunities.

I just joined NHREIA in December and now I'm getting my wife on board with the idea of getting into a 2 or 3 family or even a single family with an in law that we can rent out at a bear minimum.

I would love to get connected to people locally and if anyone has properties they are selling that fits my definitely im all ears.

thanks everyone and good to meet you!
