Thanks @Dean S. and @Courtney Fricke.  What time and where is the meetup in Slidell?

@Joseph Wang Welcome to BP.  I am in Hammond.  I'm just beginning the journey to financial independence through real estate also.  Good luck!

@Mario Garaffa  I can't really answer your questions as I am just starting out myself.  I can welcome you and say that I think you have made a great decision.  I also work in Government.  A pension sounds good, but I don't want to be limited in retirement.  Good luck!

@James Martin  Thanks!  

@Derek Meehan    It sounds like you know your why.  Welcome to the site.  This is a great place to be for a new investor as you already know.    

@Jacob A.

Welcome.  I've been lurking off and on here for over a year.  Finally decided to get serious about becoming a landlord.  This is a great site with very helpful people willing to share their knowledge with new investors.  

@Dimitri Fomichenko

Thanks for the very informative post!  I appreciate your willingness to help a new guy. 

@Braden Smith 

I am interested.  I sent you a connection request and a PM.

@Chris Verdets

I appreciate your post.  I sent a connection request so we can connect.

Hello BP community.  I have been a free member for over a year.  I have decided it is time to get serious and get my first deal done so I have gone PRO.  I am interested in buy and hold rentals as my retirement plan.  I look forward to learning as much as I can from this site as I progress to my goal of financial freedom.

I am an Accountant and I work in Government.  I recently graduated with a BS in Accounting at 42 years old.  My previous career was in healthcare as a Physical Therapist Assistant.   I decided that I didn't want to work in physical therapy until I retired, so I made a dream of mine come true and went back to school.  I am married to my wife of 14 years and we have two young boys ages 6 and 8.  

I enjoy what I do, but I want to have the flexibility to work when I want and spend more time with my family.  Real estate investing is how I plan to achieve that flexibility.  

I look forward to the journey.

Thanks for having me.
