Hello! 

My name is Marcus Hill, and I am new to BiggerPockets and real estate investing in general. I'm a musician by trade, with a wife and a 1yr old daughter. I've traveled around the world a lot, and am now looking to try my hand at investing with property. BiggerPockets has been a huge help with all the education, forums, and podcasts. I am looking to start small with a SFH, and then grow and scale from there, ultimately to reach financial independence and to leave a legacy for my family. I'd love to build a network, so I'd love to meet any of you and welcome any advice or conversations. Thank you all!
