Thanks for the warm welcome.

@Andrew Fisher Cool. How are you doing the rent to own? I just learned a little about the concept of Self-Directed IRA's from our local Meetup last month. Maybe you could roll you 401K into something like that.

Thanks @Jeff V. I appreciate the offer to help with the process. Like I said in the intro, I've only just recently decided to "go for it". So much still to learn. I'll definitely reach out. I did make it to the last Meetup in Lake Charles and plan to keep attending.

@Scott Morongell My first preference is local. Primarily because I don't really know enough yet to be confident for remote investing. Though I'd like to learn more and I'm open to it.

@David Mathews yes, it's definitely a tough market. I'm not really killing it. Just in the right place at the right time and knew the right people to talk to. I would definitely like to meet you if time ever allows.

I think it is time to introduce myself. I'm am pretty new here to Bigger Pockets. I've been listening to the podcasts and learning through books on real estate investing. 

I'm from Lake Charles, Louisiana and as of 3 months ago decided to get serious about investing in real estate. We've done a couple house flips over the past 9 years and are currently living in a house we rehabbed. We currently have 6 SFRs. We bought our first rental three years ago and in the past month we've acquired 5 more single family rentals. Also under contract on another and set to close in about two weeks.

I'm looking to learn more and connect with other investors. 

Current Goal: I would like to acquire at least one small multi-family within the next six months. Ideally 4-20 units.
