Hey everyone,

I am new to real estate investing but my wife and I have decided we are going to take the plunge. We have begun a business plan and intend to own our first rental property in early June of 2014. I welcome any and all advice and networking possibilities.

Here is a summary of my situation. I am a professional graphic designer in Marion, IN. I am a newlywed and I graduated college in April. With that being said I have very little money to start up. I would really appreciate any take you have on how to get around that obstacle.

My reasons for real estate investing are simple:

1) I would like to be able to have a supplemental income so my wife will not have to work once we have kids.

2) Eventually, I would like to be able to quit my current job and become a full time investor so that I can have more control over my schedule.

3) I would like to launch a charitable organization that specializes in "fixing" a neighborhood's reputation out of my business once my other goals have been reached.

Thank you so much in advance for any advice, encouragement, or networking
