I am brand new to this world and my new knowledge is coming at a critical transition point in my life.

My wife and I have been looking to buy a property for nearly 2-3 years but life always seems to come first (second daughter, etc.) and financial freedom...well...second...We are making it a goal to close on our first investment property before the EOY but I'm thinking more like closing before the start of Q3...put some more realistic pressure on myself.I've been WFH full time (risk management) since the pandemic and have taken on multiple "COVID" Projects...for example I killed off and "renovated" my entire front lawn into a golf course lawn (0.5 inches height of cut)...lots of factors come along with making that happen but a key to my success was...you guessed it...a lawn forum.I love meeting new people and making connections. 

Same here, I grew up here and finally ready to get my first investment property; little late in life, but better late than never.

It will make your life a lot easier

Just to keep you from running down the wrong trail here.Environmental engineers do some tangentially related work to wetlands, but primarily focus on waste management, water management, soils/erosion management, public health (water/sewers), and environmental protections.

I am currently 32 and soon to be 33 years old.I am sick and tired of trading my time for a paycheck only to rinse and repeat just hoping that someday I can retire and also hoping that I still have life left to live.

The city will hunt you down like your the next Zodiac Killer and make your life hell. 

Every month we send owners tens of thousands of income off rental properties that they often have very little involvement in while they enjoy the income and easy life.

The dream of someday leaving the crime infested, 2 hour traffic to get 30 miles to work life and raising kids in small towns with little league baseball and riding through town on a bike could be lost, so the decided now is the day. 

Due to unforseen circumstances with the city and personal life I moved in.
