Newbie Investor from Barnegat, New Jersey

[Kevin Umberger]

Hello All,

My name is Kevin Umberger. I am brand new to the concept of Real Estate Investing. Without getting into too much detail, I was in some dire straits for a while and have proudly dug myself out of a large hole! I was one of the unfortunate rat race members who could never get ahead. I am 27 years old and have finally gotten my financial life in order. After next month I will officially be Credit Card Debt Free!!

I have been attempting to train my mind to absorb like a sponge! I read Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" a while back which has dramatically changed my thinking and put me on my current financial and real estate investing path. After reading through BP's "Free Beginners Guide", I am currently reading William Nickerson's "How I turned $1,000 into $5,000,000 in Real Estate", because of another members recommendation.

I believe I am going to follow in Nickerson's footsteps and use his concepts. I will be frugally saving in order to put a solid % down on my first rental property.

Until then, I will be reading as much as possible and following the BP forum! I thank everyone on BP in advance for any direct or indirect help and advice I receive from each and everyone here!!
