Currently on Leave of Absence from the FD and most likely not going back. MMM is Mr Money Mustache. No affiliation, but a great website.

Thanks Joan, just emailed you.

Dan,

Don't have my license, but my wife is looking to get hers over the next month or two. We've gotten on an email list from a local realtor where he sends us property meeting our search criteria. I've heard MNREIA is really good and I think the guy who runs it is on BP. Should be able to find him with a little searching.

Hi everyone and Happy Independence Day!

My name is Matt and I live in St Paul, MN. I bought my 1st duplex back in 1997 as my first home which I rehabbed and then built a spec house in 2001 that I was planning to sell. Fortunately, I met my wife in August of 2002 and have since gotten married and had 3 kids. Sold my rental property, worked 4 years as an EMT/ Firefighter and now that my kids are grown up a little, I'm looking to get back in the game with my wife.

I have worked with the city here on a number of rehabs and also have quite a bit of experience as a carpenter/ contractor. Currently pushing to find that 1st deal. Mailed some letters, looked at lots of houses on the MLS, and have been searching RealtyTrac for leads on preforeclosures. Found a house I'd really like to get a hold of that is in it's redemption period if anyone knows a short-sale specialist that could help me work out a deal with the bank/owner.

Love BP and the podcast and happy to be here.

Matt
