My name is Rich Hill. I was not born with the skills or knowledge to invest. Interest was created during college when a friend invited me to meet his dad – a stock broker at Dean Witter Reynolds in Portland, Oregon. I found myself investing in preferred stocks & ETD securities, midstream and master limited partnerships (MLP), REITS, cREITS, mREITS, business development companies (BDC) and even a few closed end funds (CEF).
