New Member Introduction

[Gideon Cooper]

Hello to you all with Bigger Pockets!

A little about myself: I am 29 years old, live in Easley/ Greenville, South Carolina, and this is all very new to me. I was recently laid off from my Aviation career of 10 years, just after hearing a co-worker give me an opportunity to work with him and his partner on Rehab homes. It sparked some interest in my mind which lead to more research. I don't believe I will be working with him but I have committed myself to the REI idea.

I jumped in head first and filed for an S Corp entity 2 weeks ago (and no little about minutes, bylaws, and record keeping) and hope to find a local REIA in the area to start feeding off of the helpful. I worked very hard with little to show to pay off my home in the last 2 years, so I have no debts and managed to get a HELOC "just in case"... but I obviously cant operate like this for long. If anyone knows of some realistic and helpful starter reads that can help me start moving toward building wealth and allowing me to support my parents as they grow older, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hope to get to know some of you better,

Gideon
