Fort Myers checking in

[N/A N/A]

Hi everyone,

I'm glad I found this site; it seems to be a pretty amazing community you have here! I've been reading for a little while and I've already had many questions answered. I'll probably continue to lurk before posting, because I'm pretty sure all of the things I'm wondering have been asked already. I think I'll find those threads with a bit of searching, and getting through all of that will take some time.

About myself... I'm 27 and have lived in Fort Myers, FL for nearly 4 years (originally from New Hampshire). When I was a kid, I would fix and flip music gear so I could get the stuff I wanted. Later on, I began to do the same thing with cars and car parts so I could indulge in that (notoriously expensive) hobby without hardly costing me a thing. I always figured it would be natural to get into something larger to enjoy even greater rewards, and not surprisingly, real estate and property have been on the radar for quite some time now.

I bought my current place about 3 years ago. It's a small townhouse that I got from my brother (who is a finance guy - good to have in my corner). As many of you know, that was a very good time to buy in FL, and now I find myself in a good position to make a move. I'll be reading here to help figure out what that move should be!

While I know I'm teh n00bz (haha...), I'd be more than happy to meet up with others in the area. I don't know how much I'll be able to add to the conversation at THIS point, but I'd be more than happy to meet and just listen to others who have the same interests (I'm sick of talking about cars over and over with my current friends...though if you have any car problems, please feel free to ask!).

Once again, thanks! I'm very glad to be here!
