Hello
I am new to the real estate world, I basically joined the community with an open mind with a view to keep improving my knowledge learned from books like Rich dad Poor dad, Cashflow Quadrant, guide to investing etc. Along with other books i.e guide to economics and my experience from being in the network marketing industry, so thankfully I am already equipped with the right mindset to begin my journey to financial freedom and more, just presently lack the funds, but i am of course not here for hand-outs i believe you earn what you get or you dont deserve it. As i was saying though i joined the community with an open mind and am ready to learn aswell as share any knowledge i have procured along my journey.
It is a pleasure to be a part of such a large community of like minded people and look forward to making many connections and possible future business partners as well as friends along the way.
Regards
Sean Ellerker

Hi Sean, 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!
