Newbie from Grand Rapids, MI

[Nick Longstreet]

Hey everyone! My name is Nick Longstreet and I live in the Grand Rapids, MI area (Holland to be exact). I'm just starting out with this whole REI thing and have a lot to learn still, but I am super excited to be a part of such a large community of like-minded people! As I said, I live in Holland, MI with my wife, Jocelyn, and our 8-month-old son, Rennon. As of right now, I work a pretty "normal" factory job, but my biggest goal is to be able to get out of that grind. I'd love to be able to say that we live financially free and not paycheck to paycheck someday, which is my biggest driving force for really diving into my education in real estate investing. I'm trying to be a big sponge and soak up as much knowledge from books and others already doing this, so if you have any tips or advice, please don't hesitate :).
