I work full time in technology, but have real estate in my blood - my father, old brother, and grandmother are (or were) skilled rental operators.My wife and I manage our portfolio of 18 rentals, mostly duplexes but one 4 unit and one 6.

I try to use as much technology as possible to get 360 videos loaded to you tube for the property in question and consistent income reports.  

ET Homeowners soon will be able to count income they earn from Airbnb Inc. rentals on applications for refinance loans.A new program -- expected to be announced on Thursday by Airbnb, mortgage giant Fannie Mae and three big lenders -- will allow anyone who has rented out property on Airbnb for a year or longer to count some or all of that money as income.Refinancing can be a way for a homeowner to tap home equity for renovations, college tuition or other big expenses, or to reduce their monthly payments.Lenders have been tougher on income from side businesses and part-time work since the mid-2000s, when poorly documented income claims on mortgage applications helped fuel the housing bubble.Airbnb, which launched in 2008, argues that its service includes reliable technology to track income, and that it is helping middle-class Americans stay in their homes by giving them a way to generate additional cash."

Single father of two, working a stable job in education technology, and running & 'kind of' managing a small business consulting company on the side.

Like many I've read about already, REI was something I never payed attention to throughout life other than thinking "other people did it" and it didn't hold an interest to me.After catching a Clayton Morris podcast about 2 months ago and then reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, I've become hooked and driven to dive into this new adventure in life.I've been in computers/IT/Technology since 1984, worked at a few companies, ran my own consulting business for 7 years and then re-joined the full time workforce for a client.  

Unrelated to construction, I am also actively a private IT consultant to PriceWaterhouseCoopers, specializing in big data, cloud technologies, legal compliance, and audit controls (Assurance division), and am an experienced paralegal in the areas of corporate and bankruptcy law. 

Starting with the technology - Ha!

Technology has enabled communication with a remote CPA through phone calls, emails, skype etc.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology.

I've been working professionally in technology for 25 years and I'm looking to get involved in Real Estate (wholesale, flipping and rentals seem the most intersting to me but I'm open to other options as well!)
