New guy from Rochester NY

[Mike Ware]

Hi everyone,
My name is Mike and I live near Rochester, NY. I'm a 28 year old mechanical engineer by day, and have been investing in real estate in Rochester for a couple years now. I co-own and manage a real estate holding LLC which currently has a portfolio of 5 rental properties (4 singles and a duplex). I'm focused on building up long term cashflow.

So far I've been having the properties professionally managed and things have been going well. At this point I'm hoping to expand with some larger multifamilies, and maybe do some of the management myself.

I kinda feel like an island, even though I'm starting to build up my connections with some local professionals. I hope to connect with more investors and absorb all of your wonderful wisdom to help me navigate where I go next!

Ultimately I'd love to do this full time and replace my paychecks. I'd love to be able to spend more time with my family and volunteering at my church. I'm also a guitar junkie and want to expand my collection!

I've already seen at least one other Rochesterian who introduced himself recently, so I'm excited to get started!
