My name is Bob Zimmer and my wife Amy. Currently, we are newbies to REI and wanting to get out of the rat race and support our dreams for a retirement. We have, in my estimation, 15 years to add and grow to our next egg and looking at the richest people in the world Real Estate is key. We again are newbies to REI and are looking to grow and learn.

Karen and Brandon thanks for the welcome.

Karen - working on a picture. Looking for a camera to give me more hair on the top of my head and lose 15 pounds.

Brandon - right now our goal is to make this a success. I believe we want to start out wholesaling and then flipping and finally buy n hold. Our goal is to finance college(3 years) and retirement(ASAP).
