Hello BP Community!

My name is Scott Meehan. Zero background in real estate other than being a homeowner and owning a rental that was never intended to be a rental (read: not cash flowing). Hope to have that non-performing property gone soon.

Came to BP to learn as much as possible as I’m preparing to retire from my career in the military and start a new career in real estate. I’ve got about another year and a half before I will retire, so I plan to use the time to get a big jump on the education piece of this puzzle and to build up some REI momentum prior to hanging up the uniform. Ultimately, I’d like to do the real estate thing full-time. I’ve got a lot of work to do between now and retirement. Needless to say, I’m very excited.

I think I’m most comfortable with SFR and MFR at this point, but plan to keep an open mind as I learn about all the other niches and exit strategies (Yep, I’ve already read the free BP Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to REI which was phenomenal.) I very much look forward to learning as much as I can here. Last, I hope to someday be a resource to others in this community...there are already so many great examples to follow

Sincerely,

Scott
