New Member Introduction

[Rick Rizzo]

Hello world!  

I am a new member looking to introduce myself and perhaps meet some local like minded folks. I am a 37 year old W-2 working professional. I live between Lansing and Grand Rapids Michigan. I am educating myself in real estate investing so I can make informed decisions. My goals are to manage risk, invest & build wealth, and minimizes tax spending. I want to learn about how creating a private company can help me accomplish these goals. My first step will be to draft a business plan to define my goals and objectives as I learn more about the industry and how I might jump in.

Rich Dad Poor Dad was my spark. I've read the 'Bigger Pockets Ultimate Beginner Guide'. I listen to the Grand Rapids based, 'Rental Property Owner & Real Estate Developer' RPOA podcast. Always looking for new ways to learn. E
