Greetings from Simi Valley, CA
Hi folks,
This is Bruce W., landlord of a nearby condo for over 12 years now. My wife and I recently managed to pay this property off, so we are starting to look around for other opportunities. I am employed outside of the RE market, but have little job security. Nearing age 55, I am looking for a safety net. We are not looking to get rich, just prepping for a comfortable retirement.
We are blessed with 5 grandchildren who live within a few miles of us here. Relocation is not in our future.
I found this site after a web search for info to determine what our ROI is. I am excited to join up and learn from all of you. I have more questions about ROI, 1031 TIC exchanges and Delaware Statutory Trusts (DST) as well as potential opportunities to find a new career in REI. I'll search first and ask later.
Thanks for listening. I'll catch you all later!
Best regards,
Bruce
