Hello everyone! I'm a long time podcast listener and just joined the site and went straight for Pro!

My name is Dan Holden and I'm originally from a small village called Phoenix in NY. Been living in SC for about 18 years. I currently build actuators for the medical field and I actually enjoy doing it too.

I came across BiggerPockets by accident really while my Dad was in the hospital recovering from having his right hip replaced. I downloaded all the podcasts up to that point and listen to them everyday while I'm at work. Todays the first day I've actually gotten to see the site with a computer and not on my phone. I have to say, I am impressed.

My goal is to be able to live off of a passive cash flow one day. I'm in no rush. I realize that this will not happen overnight. Despite what the Rich Dad seminar I paid way to much for said. I do like to do a lot of reading and research and seem to have "Analysis Paralysis". And people tend to tell me that I ask too many questions but I'm sorry, if I don't understand I will question you about the subject matter until I do.

I would love to hear from everyone on here. I'm always open to new ideas and suggestions. I do not, repeat DO NOT, want to be one of the ones that come on here and then disappear. I want to get into this and stay. I have this weird feeling that this is where I belong.

Thanks for reading!

Dan

@Mehran K. , Thank you for the welcome. Sorry it took me a bit to get back on here. Did you think I disappeared already? lol

Yeah, upon listening to even more of the podcasts (and gratz to you and your visit to the podcasts) I'm thinking about switching gears. I was all gung-ho about doing wholesales thinking that would be a good place to get my feet wet but now I'm thinking about flipping. AHH! It's that Analysis sneaking up on me again.

I'm definitely going to try to puruse the site a bit more and see what I can find that other people are saying. The jumping out there and doing it, I can see where that would be a bit scary as I'm not too sure of it yet myself but I also find myself to be very excited about it as well. I just need to figure out how to get the excitement to overpower the paranoia.
