Long time lurker, new to posting

[Tony S.]

Hi BP,

I've been reading posts for quite a while now, but I have yet to invest in a property or engage on the forum. Here's hoping that both are about to change! I have found a property that I just had to get more advice on before pulling the trigger, so I posted my questions and concerns. I figured that protocol would dictate that I should have introduced myself first, but late is better than never I suppose.

My name is Tony, I am from NC, and I am fascinated with real estate, but have given into the naysayers who are full of horror stories of land-lording. I have just recently been talking to a like-minded co-worker who owns a whole slew of properties and convinced me that "yes it can be hard, but we've both put up with a lot worse." That really stuck a chord with me, and I am now determined to find a deal that works for me and make it happen. I'm looking forward to learning from, and engaging with the community here at BP in the process.

Tony
