Starting with nothing but knowledge and motivation!

[Blake Boyles]

Hello BP nation! My wife and I are new to BP, as well as the real estate industry as a whole. We've been doing research and reading books, blogs, forums and talking to real estate professionals for a couple of months now and we feel ready to dive in head first! We don't currently own a home. I am driving for dollars to find deals and then once I do, I plan on finding the funds to invest. One of my biggest questions is where should I begin looking for private money investors that would help fund my deals?? We don't have a local real estate club here in Longview, Texas yet so there isn't much I can do in the form of networking at events.

Once we figure this out and have a solid foundation to grow our business on, we will take it by the horns and make the absolute best we can out of it! We are very motivated individuals and even more so as a team. My goal is to be able to quit my job in 2 months and live strictly off of real estate profits. 6 months from now, I would like to have our own storefront business and be a big enough investor that we're comparable to other real estate companies in our area. By this time, I would like to be doing at least 5-10 deals per month.

Any and all comments are greatly appreciated and will be put to great use!
