Newbie from Garner, NC

[Rick Shipp]

Good evening everyone. My name is Rick and I reside in the Raleigh/Garner, NC area. Is there anything before newbie? If so...thats me! I'm currently in the military (27 years) and hope to retire in the next 36 months. I love what I do and if mind/body were willing would gladly do so for another 27 years. I have a lovely, supportive wife and daughter. I've done so much reading, research, google searches, listening to Guru's that my head is spinning, hence why I came to BP. I finally came to the realization that there are REAL people...good people...doing the exact things I want to do all around me. I've always believed that if you either emulate those who are successful or surround yourself with successful people good things will happen. It is my sincere hope here on BP to find people like yourselves who are successsful and learn/grow from your knowledge, experiences, and guidance. My goal is to seek financial independence and improve the quality of life for my family and those I love through Real Estate. I'm sorry this is so long...I've keep a lot of this in my head. I look forward to hearing from all of you. Your time, thoughts, and opinions are most welcome and appreciated.
