Hey guys! I’m Matthew. I’m a proud dad of two awesome teenage boys. I currently reside in Illinois. I’m a real estate investor and I also run a 7 figure contracting business. I'm here to soak up as much as I can about taxes and hopefully make some new friends along the way. Drop a comment and let me know what you do and what market you’re in so we can all get to know each other better and maybe even team up on something down the road. Glad to be here!

`Hi, I have owned my own consulting firm since 2010 with a background in leadership in various capacities. This means I moved from "being" a W-2 to a 1099. As shared in my intro post, I am purchasing my first STR, closing on 10/24/2025. I plan to create a legacy portfolio for my kids, enjoying the income and asset as part of my future retirement.

Hey everyone! My wife, two boys and I are based in the SLC area and are just starting our RE investing journey. Look forward to connecting with you all and learning as much as I can. Thanks Ryan for all the content! - Saving on taxes will allow us to keep reinvesting in cash flowing assets to build up an additional income stream, eventually leading to earlier retirement and freedom for my family. We have lofty travel goals and have so many bucket list trips to eventually take as well! - Planning to purchase our first STR by the end of the year. Working with Kenny & team at STR Insights to find the right one! - Our "one big domino" is probably pulling the trigger on our first STR and then learning as much as possible along the way to optimize and thoughtfully grow 📈
