Good day all!

I have been on the site for some time now and finally worked up the courage to make the introduction post. I have talked to other members and asked for help and it’s been tremendously helpful!

Long term general goals is to accumulate rentals to generate that passive income! I want to aim for high end rentals in the future.

As of right now I have conducted one wholesale deal and it was a big learning experience!

I also own/operate my own landscaping business part time and in the future generate enough revenue through that to fuel my real estate goals!

I finally can see that my spouse is seeing the light in investing through constant conversations and informing.

I’m setting up better systems to operate the wholesaling gig for some time until we jump on the first rental property.

How did you guys determine your “why”? I know that RE is a great vehicle but how did you know that was your why?

I have been landscaping since I purchased my home in 2013.  The home we purchased was a roached out foreclosure, all the landscaping was destroyed as well as the house.  I have built over 200 ft of block walls (slump stone), retaining walls up to 5' tall on the property line, planted food trees (including my prized Hass Avocado), block and rock hardscape, designed and installed all irrigation, put in the sod, etc.
