Aspiring Investor Introduction
Hello,
I am new to the Pro Membership but not new to BP! I have been listening to the BP Real Estate Podcast with David and Rob for a couple years now. I have been wanting to invest for a long time but financial uncertainty has always held me back. I am a licensed Realtor in MI and I got my license as a way to stay connected to real estate as I knew it was something I was always passionate about. So far that has been the extent of my real estate journey.
I am hoping to change that this year and take my portfolio of "zero to hero." Much like most, I am most interested in the financial freedom that real estate investing offers and what it can do for my family. I would love for real estate investing to be something that my wife and I can do together to give us some time back to spend with family and doing things we love. I am not however, under any impression, that RE investing is easy work.
I look forward to e-meeting you and maybe even meeting you at a local meet-up in the near future.
Thanks for reading.
TJ Cheslik
