Hi everyone I'm Matt Inman from St. Louis Mo. I ran across this site a few days ago and have been reading as much as I can. I've recently decided to start looking into real estate after a conversation with a friend of mine about his recent successes in the real estate market. At this point I'm not sure what aspect I'd like to get into. I have considered the rental market and have some experience there, growing up my father always had a few houses he would rent out and to this day still owns 3 or 4 that he uses for fun money. Personally I think its just an excuse for him to stay out of my mothers way for a few hours a day. :) But my Dad would always drag me along as a kid and so I learned quite a bit about home repair and upkeep. So I have a bit going for me there, I'm not afraid to get my hand dirty. But I also know when I'm out of my league with a job, I've put a roof on a house once and I'll never do that again. :)

Well I look forward to speaking with some of you, reading some great posts, and learning as much as I can.

Cheers,

Matt
