Hello BP family. My name is Alec. I’ve been listening to BP on and off for a couple years now.. I’ve always known I’d do real estate investing “some day”! It wasn’t until the last few months that I realized I would say that forever if I kept waiting for the stars to align.
Enticed by a few of the BP books, along with many others, I’ve decided to commit to diving in. 
I’m a military veteran, father to two awesome boys that I have 50/50, and I’ve been working in the home improvement sales/marketing world for the last 5 years, with my builders license hopefully coming into effect this year. 

I currently live just outside of Lansing, Michigan but my work has me traveling all around the state. 

With that being said, I would be beyond grateful/enthusiastic about any and all experience opportunities or guidance in making some local connections to best start propelling myself, and potential future partners, for many years to come! 

Thanks in advance! God bless!

Congrats! the first step is sometimes taking the first step. I would absolutely follow Brandon turner and @David Greene on social media and pick up a few of their books. After reading Multi-Family millionaire I've personally come to the conclusion that one of the best first moves an investor can make is picking up a good "all american" (B neighborhood, working class demographic, 2/1 or 3/2 that just works and will always work)

In the famous words of InvestwithAce "If you got 100, spend 50, if you got 50, spend 20, and if you have 20 save up more cash."
