New guy here
Hello all! I've been a member for a couple months now. Ive just been listening to podcasts and reading articles and posts. Information makes me tick. I love absorbing as much knowledge as I can on subjects that I am interested in. Hence why I am here. I've felt drawn to real estate for quite some time. I don't own any properties, but I will soon. I still live with my parents. I could move out if I needed to, but my main goal right now is to not get tied up in a mortgage of my own until I have two rental properties to provide passive income to help cover it. My long term goal is to build enough passive income to cover my monthly expenses and allow me to leave my job and start investing full time. Working for my parents has blessed me in that I have experienced right and wrong decisions. In a sense, learning from mistakes my parents have made. They have helped me grow more than any book or educational class I have been involved with and I am forever grateful for the experience they've given me. I no longer work with them. I pursued a career in the nuclear power industry. I was lucky to be awarded a full scholarship out of high school and was able to graduate with an associates degree an no debt. I actually work for an oil and gas exploration company now in Houston. So that's my story! Can't wait to delve deep into the bigger pockets resources and absorb everything I can.
