Excited to join the Bigger Pockets Community

[Steve Fiedler]

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m Steve, and I’m thrilled to join this amazing community! 

By trade and training, I’m a marketing, finance, and strategy guy, but at heart, I’m an entrepreneur who loves working with people and building meaningful connections.

Real estate has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and now I’m diving in to carve my own path. 

My big goal? Achieving “work optional” status and creating a life with more freedom and flexibility.

I’m excited to learn, share, and grow with all of you here at BiggerPockets. Let’s connect and make big things happen together!

Cheers,
Steve

Welcome to BiggerPockets!

We’re thrilled you've joined us. BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor. Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available:

1. Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass). There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.
2. Ask questions in the appropriate forum. If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum. Asking in the correct forum will get a better response.
3. Read the RULES! We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc. Please keep those posts in the Classifieds forum.
4. Need a spreadsheet or form? Check out FilePlace, where user-created forms are available for free. A link to FilePlace is at the bottom of every page, making it easy to find.
5. If you have technical issues, email [email protected], and someone will help you.
6. Have a problem in the forums? We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.). If you see someone violating the rules, create a post with "@moderators," and we will receive a notification and respond.

Again, welcome to BiggerPockets, and happy investing!

Hi @Steve Fiedler

Welcome to BP!

I'm not sure how experienced you are in the real estate world but one thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 4

1. Your contractor

2. Your deal finder (agent/wholesaler)

3. Your property manager

4. Your Lender

My suggestion to find #2 & #4 would be to go to the top of this page and click on FIND AN AGENT & FIND A LENDER. There you will be asked your criteria and then after answering a few questions you will be matched with 3-5 agents or loan officers in your area. My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews. That way you know they are active in the BP community!

Cheers from Fort Worth, TX !
