I am married with two kids. I am 41 years of age, been married for 10 years. We currently live in Atlanta, have been here for 6 years, moved from South Florida where I lived for 17 years. I got my MBA from Nova Southeastern University. I have been in the Accounting filed for over 15 years. My husband and I have a small remodeling company which brings in arount 75-80 thousand a year. We are looking into buying and flipping houses. I had my real estate license in Florida but decided not to renew it in Georgia as the market was kind of slow. However, my husband and I decided that it would be good for us to get back into what we love. Buy houses, fix it up and then resell it for cheap. Personally, we want to see families in homes, their own homes. The goals for our family is to get rich the right way. We are willing to work for it, but the results must be tangible. Because I have the business background and my husband have the skills, it would only be fitting to go the next step.
