Newbie from Alabama Getting in to Rentals

[Scott Hawks]

Greetings BP Folks!

My name is Scott Hawks.  I live in Gadsden, AL.  I'm completely new to real estate investing.  Been wanting to get in for a while.  Acquired my first property last year.  Just got it finished up and rented out in July.  I currently work in IT full time.  My goal is to get out of corporate america in 5-7 years and do IT as a side gig with real estate my main income stream. Looking primarily at buy and hold rentals and would like to do some flipping as well to supplement my income for more buying power for the buy and holds.  Been stalking BP for a couple of years now.  Joined last week with a pro membership.  The tools here are amazing, and from what i have seen, so are the people.

Looking forward to a great journey!!

Scott
