Newly Addicted to Biggerpockets!
Hello Biggerpockets!
I found the podcast a few weeks ago and I’m hooked!
My name is Sean Snizek and I’m from Russellville, AR. I have made the Army my career over the past 11.5 years, yet, I have always had an interest in real estate. I don’t have a real estate background and I am an absolute beginner to real estate investment world.
I started listening to the more recent episodes but realized that I need to start from the very beginning. Yes, I realize there is a lot of catching up to do, but I don’t want to miss out on anything!
From what I’ve heard so far, one of the biggest obstacles to overcome is taking action, so here I am! I don’t think I am ready to tackle my first deal as I am still in the education phase.
My plan is to eventually retire from the Army to North Central Florida, and in the mean time, build a rental portfolio of multi-family homes to have as a nest egg/twilight career.
I hear that the community here is friendly and super helpful and I look forward to hearing from everyone!
