I went to school in Michigan and worked in GR for several years, so I'm fairly familiar with the areas, but not as an investor.

I joined a mentor group earlier this summer also to help accelerate the process.A little about me...I joined the Marines out of high school and served for one enlistment.

I have a 3bd/3ba, 2451 sq ft condo with attached garage near downtown Richmond closer to Level 1 trauma center, great schools and universities.

Since I am married and have school age kids, I place a real premium on minimizing my management time.
