A little about me: I am married and have four kiddos.

I'm 41 years old married with two boys.

The OA is important because it provides for what happens if you die or become disabled or, if married, divorce....it also helps ensure the LLC is separate from you and not an"alter ego" of you (which would allow for a piercing of he corporate veil).

My MIL rented her home in Autauga County, Alabama last September to a newly married couple.

I've always been interested in real estate and got my feet wet 7 years ago 2 weeks after we got married.

Since then I've gotten married.

One investor that I would see at public auctions all the time said that if I married his daughter he would tell me all of his secrets of making money (I often wondered what she looked like.), but I was married so, that didn't work.I started buying tapes (remember tapes, they'd get hung up in your tape player and wouldn't work anymore) on real estate investing, I took many seminars from speakers from a-far, digested dozens of books on investing and experimented creating buying offers using creative techniques (had to, had no money).I became an agent (that wasn't fun, but I did well) selling residential properties (that job diverted my energy from investing to driving around potential buyers), and earning almost nothing for my efforts.What I did not have when I started was a computer, no email no real estate chat rooms, no pagers, cell phones and no internet, Bigger Pockets wasn't born yet.I use to have to go to the court house and assessment office in person if I wanted to know who owned what, I use to run foreclosures after getting the information from the legal pending filing.I remember the first cell phone I purchased, it was call a 'bag phone' it was as big as a shoe box.

Now I'm married with a kid and soon to be another, so it isn't realistic now, because I need the cash flow from my current duplex to buy the next one with 25% DP.  

One of my friends from high school got married out there a few year ago.

I bought my first rental in May of 2013 and rented it out to roommates before I got married.
