However, my ultimate goal is to build a portfolio of rental properties (buy and hold) for building generational wealth so that in 10 years, I can sit back and watch my legacy grow.Background/Real Estate Journey:My employment history includes working at Fannie Mae (the secondary mortgage market giant) for nearly 20 years (1987- 2006) as an administrative assistant, a call center representative in the Consumer Resource Center, and lastly as the technology manager in the call center.
