Officially a real estate investor

Thanks to everyone involved at BP. Especially @Joshua Dorkin (I miss you on the podcast) and @Brandon Turner. I have been working to get involved in real estate for the last 8 years. I listened to every podcast at least 4 or 5 times over those years. I know most of you would think why did it take that long. 

It should not have taken that long but I've never known anybody that owned property, not even a car. I grew up in deep poverty in rural south Georgia and never knew about owning anything. I also didn't understand personal finance. I definitely didn't understand real estate finance. Had to go through a complete mind shift (still growing every day). 

I've grown a lot in many different areas and I know @Mindy Jensen and @Scott 

@Scott Trench changed my life with the money podcast. It really helped me get my personal finances together which allowed me to use my personal financial position to purchase this property. 

I closed on a triplex 2 days ago and I'm still on BP for hours listening to all the BP advice on what to do every step. I hope to continue to build portfolio so I can build wealth for my family and leave something to my kids. Also spread this mindset to others that have never came anywhere close to understanding the power of real estate.

Thanks BP! Yall are great people and really are changing lives for generations of people.
