Aspiring Investor! Highly motivated and driven

[Cody Gapol]

Hello everyone! My name is Cody and I currently live in Pierce County, WA. I am originally from Hawaii and an avid fisherman and hunter. This past decade I've been constantly on the move and jumping from state to state, as do all Active Duty Military. I experienced the good and the bad of what each state had to offer, and decided Real Estate would be a beneficial path for me during my military career and beyond. I've been interested in dabbling in the REI game for awhile now, educating myself with anything I could get my hands on, books, podcasts, youtube videos, and the occasional interaction with strangers. I believed educating myself on all things RE was the priority, and I did just that! I read book after book, listened to endless podcasts, and watched and re-watched videos engraving anything and everything I could into my brain. Although not wrong, I quickly realized I hadn't digested 1 big piece of advice I found in each and every source... EXECUTION! Although my grasp on concepts were getting better and more efficient I ended up at a plateau, somewhere where only hands on experience could help me break through. That's why I am here now, I finally decided to pull the trigger and just throw myself out there, hoping to network with people from all backgrounds, professions and experience levels.

The first stepping stone I needed was to find people that can share their knowledge, advice, and to help mentor me through the trials and tribulations of real estate. I figured what better place to start then the BiggerPockets family! I look forward to building relationships with each and every one of you, and hope to build a long term successful real estate portfolio like many of you already have. My head is always down and focused and my ears are always open, any advice sent my way will be meticulously analyzed. 

Thank you to those who took the time to read my little introduction and I look forward to starting this journey with BP in my corner.

Mahalo,

Cody G.
