My name is Jacob and I'm an Air Force officer currently living and working in Europe. I'm from the Northern Virginia area, but am looking to invest wherever I can get the best returns, and not necessarily an area I've lived in before. I currently own one SFR that was my primary residence when I was stationed in Mississippi, but the Air Force decided it was time for me to move and the house turned into a rental property. I've now had two years of renters, but it's really a break even property and I plan to sell it this year.

I'm at a point in life where I have the cash to really start investing and I've been looking at REI for a couple of years now because I believe it's the best road to real wealth. I finally stumbled onto this site a couple of weeks ago and have been reading as much as I can since!

Before I found this site, I came across turn key providers and decided that was the best way for me to start investing in real estate while I still lived overseas, without having to travel back to the US all the time.

So I'm currently working on buying my first property in the Cleveland, OH area. I should actually sign a purchase agreement this week if it all goes well! I'm sure I'll have more posts about that soon, but as this is the Intro forum, I'll leave that for another area.

Long term, I hope to live off of residual income produced from real estate investments. I have a wife and a daughter (only 1 for now) and I want more time to spend with them!

I look forward to getting to know some of you and learning as much as I can along the way!
