Hi everyone!

Thought I would take the jump and join the forums in my first step to investing. I've been listening to the podcast for the past 3 months or so.

I am 26, and have a BA in Business Management. Right now I own a small (micro) business that is my current only source of income. We make retail displays for high-end smokeshops, and custom retail displays for glass artists. 

My grandfather made majority of his money building storage units and renting them out, along with owning 5-10 rental properties. My mother currently owns two properties that keeps her busy, and I help her with things as needed. 

Right now I am renting a house with my longtime girlfriend, but I am looking to either purchase an investment property or a house for myself in the next 1-2 years. At first I wanted an investment property to start, but then thought that I could buy my personal home and then after a year take out a home equity loan on that property to use as the down payment for my investment property. Either way - I have plenty of saving to do before a purchase can occur.

Thanks for any comments and enjoy your Saturday and weekend!
