Post: Hello from a professional amateur in Louisville, KY

Long time reader, first time poster... :-)

I'm really enjoying BP and hope to start participating in the forums now that I've created an account.

I'm a "professional" amateur, meaning I've been doing just a little real estate on the side since 1990, sometimes for flips, sometimes for short-to-mid-term rentals, always with an eye on appreciation in my own residence as well. I've 9 or 10 deals over the years. I'm moving into more of a buy-and-hold strategy now centered around section 8 rentals.

I currently live in a giant, old duplex and rent out the 3rd floor normally. I have 3 SFR section-8 rentals currently and hope to add another one day soon. I've also got my duplex listed and if I can get close to retail pricing out of it I plan on moving into more rentals in a bigger way.

If anyone in Louisville wants to yap or get coffee, don't hesitate to yell.

Best,
- Chuck
