Hi everyone,
My name is Jason. I moved to Clarksville about 6 months ago and am looking to get started in real estate investing. I am currently active duty with the army with about a year left on my contract.
I have absolutely no experience in real estate, but I have become very interested in it because of influence from my mom and stepfather who are successful investors in the Houston, TX area.
In my short time on the site BiggerPockets has already been very educational. I'm looking forward to meeting others in the area!

Hello Jason. You came to the right place! I’m a buy/fix and hold investor in the Bay in CA. But you’ll find a variety of all strategies here on the website. A few tips on the website and on meeting some fellow investors:
Search for local meetups here or google a local REI club to network with other investors. On the site, the "Learn" link across the top navigation bar has lots of great info, and so do the forums. You can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name when it pops up at the bottom of the message box. You can click on the ‘vote' button if you like someone's post or is helpful, and there are ‘awards' to earn on your profile. Good luck on everything!

Thanks J! I will take that advice to heart. I really appreciate the warm welcome here at BP and the access to the wealth of collective knowledge. Thanks for the tip about tagging other users. I messed up my first attempt at that earlier in this thread.
