My wife and I moved here 5 years ago for a new adventure and to get involved in the growing RE market here.I have been learning about blogging and have been looking for a place in the blogosphere to learn and to share and this seems to be a great place.

If you are into buy and hold, right now is a great time to pick up more properties at discounts and the tenant pool is growing and becoming better quality.

i never would have thought i would have a knack for numbers when i was growing up but it turned out that was the right thing for me.After doing motorcycle finance for a while they offered me a promotion to sales manager and i decided at that point that i wanted to stay in finance.

I hope to grow into bigger properties, multi-units, but for the forseeable future it will be SFRs.
