No More Lurking

[Shawn S.]

Greetings Bigger Pockets Community,

I have been reading the forums and all other info for the past 6 weeks or so while at the same time reading all the books I could find on real estate investing. It has been a dream of mine for quite some time, but only recently have my wife and I been able to put away enough money for the down payment on our first investment property. Inspections are complete and now we are waiting for closing. We are pretty excited. My wife and I also have twin 10 year old girls. They are amazing and I feel truly blessed. I am a teacher in Wisconsin. Thankfully I love my job and plan to do it until retirement, but I see real estate investing as a great way to have the lifestyle we want while still allowing me to do what I love to do.
