Hi Everyone! My name is Kyle and I live just outside of Manchester, NH.
A few months ago I was planning to use some money I had saved up to add a garage to my house. I happened to ask a financial planner what book he recommended to people who wanted to better handle their money. I thought he would mention a book like "The Total Money Makeover" or some other budgeting book. Instead, he recommended, "Rich Dad Poor Dad." I had never read it before, so I picked it up and it completely messed with me. As bad as it sounds, I had never thought of making money work for you instead of you working for money. My full-time job is as a minister, so I am not rolling in cash, and the idea of using money to turn it into more money sounded awesome. I thought of how much more I would enjoy my job as a minister if I didn't have to worry about the low pay, so I determined to start using some of the principles I learned in Rich Dad Poor Dad. My next book I picked up was Brandon Turner's "The Book on Rental Property Investing." He kept mentioning Bigger Pockets, so I decided to hop on and start chatting. I am currently reading David Greene's book on "By, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat."
In the meantime, I have begun looking for a multi-family property in the New Hampshire area. I have made two offers so far and both have been turned down. It is a pretty hot market in my area at the moment (as it probably is in many places) and I am struggling to find a good deal. So I don't have any properties yet, but I am actively working on it!
I look forward to chatting with everyone! If any of you live in NH or have any profound words of wisdom, please say hi!
Kyle
