I've been habitually absorbing information on real estate investing for almost a year now; I listen to Bigger Pockets, Active Duty Passive Income, Rod Khleif, audiobooks, and have read several books to gain some insight on how to make deals work.After extensive research into population growth, unemployment rates, median home prices, crime rates, property and income taxes, average insurance rates, vacancy rates, and average rental income, I have narrowed down my search to the Jacksonville, FL area where I will seek out my first multi-family deal in 2020.I'm excited to join these forums and become more active, there's always so much to learn from this great network of people.

It's exciting getting into REI and you're starting off right by getting involved in these forums and asking great questions.

Excited to write my first post!

I'm so excited for my initial post.

That's an exciting time and I remember looking at my first house.

Thank you for the kind words Lee, I'm excited to watch your connections and portfolio grow!

I'm excited to be here and network!

They don't talk about how excited they are about the latest thing they learn about brain surgery to their wives/husbands or relatives or friends who are not brain surgeons.So why talk "real estate shop" to people who are not into real estate investing?

Hello Everyone,I'm re-introducing myself after a year long hiatus.I'm looking forward to investing in this beautiful place we call the bay area & beyond.I don't have any investing experience, yet.But what I do have is 10 years of construction experience.I'm a Construction Superintendent for one of the big commercial players in the area.Started out as a Carpenter apprentice & worked my butt off to managing construction sites, from the field side.My main focus is TI's, think remodels of commercial office space.I will use REI to gain freedom of time, movement & energy.I'm looking forward to connecting with like minded individuals & learning a ton.Thanks,Torre 

I'm very excited about this resource.
