After spending 25 years as a Software Engineering and Product leader, I’m now exploring the world of real estate investing (REI) and looking forward to learning from all of you.My goal is to leverage my current investments and savings to build a real estate portfolio that will eventually allow me to transition away from my current career.

It was the purchase that jump started my real estate investing career by providing a high consistent cash flow, and a large capital gain 4 years later.

Quote from @Jacob Hrip: I’d like to begin my real estate investing career in 2025.
