I'm a 22 year old male nursing student currently in St.louis finishing school. I graduate Dec 2014 and plan on moving to the beautiful Northwest upon graduation.
As a nurse, I will be only working 3 days a week. I hope to occupy my off time by investing in RE.

A little background Info: My father, My stepdad, and my grandpa all invested in single family homes. They would buy foreclosed homes and do 80% of the rehab work themselves. Fortunately, they always asked me for my help. Thus, I have learned a great deal about fixing up homes. Sometimes they would fix them up and then rent them, other times they will fix them up and then sell them. My mom is a loan officer, so I have learned some aspects from that side of the business as well.

My goals: As I said, I will be moving to Oregon/Washington Dec 2014. I will be 24 years old working in the healthcare industry. The starting salary for nurses is generally in the 70k range. When I move, I plan to rent for a year while I start my career. After I get settled in and get a feel for the area, I want to buy a Duplex/Triplex/Fourplex. I want to live in my investment property for a few years so I can gather experience and also pay off my student loan debt that I have accrued. I do not have any baggage and do not want any kids. I feel that I will be able to pay off my debt in a short amount of time if I am able to live for "free" in my investment property.

I hope that this head start that I have will enable me to be a successful and prosperous investor! I look forward to future interactions with you all! In the mean time, I will continue to follow post and gain insight into this motivating and exciting field. This place has an unbelievable amount of resources and I plan to use every single one of them.
