Thanks man I appreciate it. Kind of overlooked the obvious. I'm actually a financial anaylst for a defense contractor and I realized its time to make a change. I've been saying I want to get into real estate for the last couple of years and up to this point it has just been talk. Now I'm going to take action.

I am new to REI and was wondering if there were any REI Groups around the Tampa Bay Area. Just looking to network and meet new people in the area.

Thank you all for the welcomes. I greatly appreciate it.

@Mehran K. thanks for the welcome. I realized the only way I'm going to make a change is by stepping out of my comfort zone. With all the reading I have been doing, I am leaning towards the Buy & Hold strategy. I know I have more to learn and I welcome any pointers.

Thank you all for your insight. I am a ways out from actually making an offer on a property, but I definitely appreciate the guidance. I'm realizing that there are many different ways to invest within the realm I plan on taking. And with a community like this it is extremely helpful for a newbie like myself.

I am new to RE Investing and still learning. I was looking at properties in my area and came across a few Fannie Mae owned properties. As an investor what issues, if any, would I have if I wanted to purchase a Fannie Mae owned property to rent out?

@Simon W. makes alot of sense. I wouldn't want to sign up for something I don't agree in.

@Paul Timmins I will definitely keep that in mind. The unit I am looking at is just a duplex.

I know I have some time before I close on a deal but I could always use some additional pointers from the vets. Thanks

I am a newbie to RE Investing and I have been doing some reasearch and have been increasing my education. I just had a general question about Multi-Family units. Since I am just starting out, would it be better to invest in a multi-family unit with tenants already there or not?

@Ramon Jenkins Thanks for the welcome and I will definitely utilize the keyword alert tool.

@Dev Horn Thanks for the welcome and just by the little looking around I have done, I can see that everyone is very open to assist in my learning. I know I have alot to learn but that is what I am here for. I really appreciate it.

Hello All! My name is Tadd Hale and I am a Newbie from the Tampa Bay Area. I am a devoted husband and proud father. I currently work for a Defense Contractor and have been doing so for almost 6 years now. I have always told myself that I wanted to get into Real Estate, but I have been too fearful to start. I realized that the only to start is to take the first step. And this is me taking that first step. I look forward to the Journey ahead. I know it is going to entail alot of learning and stepping out of my comfort zone, but I am ready for it.
