Finding Smarter friends

[Gabriel Bures]

I've been putting off introducing myself to the BP community
because it seemed, well... scary. The thing you are most scared of is
the thing you should do to grow though, right?

I've also been told that when you are tackling a problem, you find a smarter friend to help you find a better way.

My name is Gabriel and I'm new to BP. I'd never thought of my self as a real-estate investor until recently. Like many people, Covid cost me my W-2 job. Unlike many people, I don't want a new one. ( I may have to get one, and accept that at least for a while.) I built a sales portfolio over that old career that paid me handsomely, made my bosses happy, and ultimately was taken away when Covid reduced my margins. I forgot that if you aren't working on your own plan, you are part of someone else's. They gave what I build to the senior salesman and cut the rest of us.

I don't know how to make a living investing in real-estate. I know how to learn, how to sell, and how to hustle, and I'm hoping to learn the rest here.

So... hello smarter friends! I'm learning and reading and listening to podcasts. I have one investment property that pays for itself, it's repairs/upgrades, and usually makes a small profit. I've learned a great deal from that property. (Both what to do and what NOT to do) I know I'm not ready to leap into BRRRRing through 6 properties this year, but I'm trying to learn what I need to learn to get there.

I'm here to learn, grow, and makes some friends along the way. 

Thanks for reading!
