Greetings from Wisconsin

[knot22]

Hello,

I live in rural Wisconsin on a farm, raise a few steers, have a full time job and am interested in getting out of the rat race. I've been thinking about buying some rental property for a while and have done some reading on the topic, both books and online, and have gotten some practice at "running the numbers" to estimate whether or not a property will cash flow. Although I don't have much experience with rentals I do lease out the crop land and also the hunting rights on my farm.

Besides reading about rental property, I have the electronic version of Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow 101 game and have played that on my own for a while. At this point, I think it would be hugely beneficial to play Cashflow with other people to learn from them.

I'm really looking forward to participating in this great forum.

Thanks for the warm welcome all. The day after posting my intro message I realized that living on a farm and wanting to get out of the rat race may not make sense to folks who live in the city. Here, the commute to work is not exactly a "rat race" in the traditional sense of the term. A slow commute to work in this neck of the woods means you either get behind a tractor or an Amish buggy on a road that's too curvy to safely pass.

Anyhow, to clarify - I meant getting out of the rat race in the context of not having to rely on a job for income.
