Bigger Pockets Introduction
Hello all, I happened to come across this website at my regular laboratory job. I was reading Build a Rental Property Empire via kindle and took a moment to browse the internet; attempting to gauge the quality of my rental property I acquired about 5 years ago.
My name is Wilson and am from the Milwaukee area. I purchased my first investment property at the age of 21 and found it as a means to someday become financially free. I lived in that property for about 2 years before being called up for deployment with the Army Reserves. I continue to rent that property out and aspire to acquire more throughout my life. I will soon take up a Medical Laboratory Scientist travel job with the intent to fund more real-estate buying and achieve my ultimate goal of not having to trade time for money.
I wish you all the best with whatever goals you have set for yourselves and look forward to growing with each other.
I am eager to be a part of this community and hope to exchange information, advice, inspiration, among others with similar interests and aspirations.
