Hello,
My name is Jimmy I'm a full time Interpreter and also part time Appreneur (developing apps for Apple and Android). I got interested in REI when I read Robert Kiyosaki's Poor Dad Rich Dad and Unfair Advantage. I immediately signed up a REI seminar to go to and I came across this website. I read the Ultimate Beginners Guide and found it very informative and easy to read. I have gained a greater understanding of REI after reading that guide and I hope to expand my knowledge even more on this website.

The main reason I want to be successful in REI is to have financial freedom: to do what I want, when I want and how I want. My ultimate goal is to escape the "Rat Race" and not live pay check to pay check and be able to contribute to my community. I think that's what we all want and to achieve that would be very satisfying.

After everything that I have read I find myself leaning towards the Wholesale, Buy and Hold market and eventually want to get into commercial real estate. I consider myself somewhat of a book worm and try to read every book I get my hands on so I'm about to start reading my next book on REI.

I hope to network with like minded people and hopefully find a mentor that I can learn from about all aspects of REI and help me take my business to the next level. I hope to establish long lasting relationships and hope to contribute as much as I can to this community on the forums.

Happy Investing,
Jimmy Arellano
