Hello and thank you for introducing me to your wonderful website. I've been interested in real estate since 2008 when I watched an infomercial at 2 am. Granted I realize there was a lot of hype to that infomercial but it peaked my interest enough to do some research. I was on track for a bit until my father passed away and I got a little distracted. Recently I've been focused on pushing forward with my investing goals. I've completed the 90 hours of real estate agent classes and still have to complete the exams. I don't exactly know how I'm going to do it, but I intend to get the $671 I need for the exam and registration before August (the deadline).

My goal is to invest in enough real estate that I can make enough passive income to survive and take care of my son. I realize that real estate investments can give me a lot of money, but I really just want to succeed. I look forward to meeting some new people with experience that can give me solid advice to follow. I'm open minded to learning for sure. I want to be successful.

    Hi Amanda, and welcome to BP! I’m a ‘fix and hold’ investor from the Bay Area in CA, and loving it! But you’ll find a variety of every type of investor on the site, and everyone is amazingly helpful. Some pointers for you: The "Learn" link across the top navigation bar has lots of great info, and so do BP members! 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. And you can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name at the bottom of the message box. Welcome to the site, and good luck in everything!
