A Reintroduction to BP Community

[Andy McNeany]

I randomly signed up for BP back in 2013 with some hopes and dreams, and my only experience was the purchase of my first home a few months prior. 

Along with the purchase of the house was an instant family as my new wife was raising 3 girls from a previous marriage. We welcomed our 4th daughter into our home in 2015. I knew we were going to quickly grow out of that house so we started going to open houses to look for our next home with the intention of renting out our current home. To get what we wanted, where we wanted, it was necessary to sell our home instead of keep as a rental.

Now, 8 years in our current home the kids are growing and so is our equity. I have worked my w-2, actually commissioned sales, for 13 years now and have reignited my desire to own a real estate portfolio. The past year and a half I have rediscovered BiggerPockets and have been consuming books and podcast content. A co-worker and good friend of mine partnered in February of '23 to purchase our first rental. 

 I am here now with a reintroduction for myself to the community that I never delved deep into the first time around. I look forward to connecting and learning from people on here, and I will contribute what I can.
