Hi Anthony-My name is Chad Heard and I am the Director of Marketing for Auben Realty, LLC.  

New member here from Colorado Springs, CO.My wife and I are getting to the phase in our life where we are slowly accumulating a little cash and think that residential real estate investing would be a good fit for our skillset and interests.I have been the market research director for a local commercial real estate firm for over 7 years, so I am intimately familiar with the demographics, real estate market, etc., although the focus is primarily on the commercial side.

Have posted on forum looking for female roomates.
