Hello BP! New member from Grand Rapids, Michigan.

[Mark Jones]

Currently a VP of Sales, I have seen the writing on the wall. Dodged two layoffs...ready to take charge. We own 1 duplex, and would like to increase our holdings. I am researching Flips and Wholesaling which led me here. Devouring the info. Books, podcasts, forums, ebooks. Awesome! Thank you all!

Considering career change to become a real estate agent as well. Recommended? Would like to meet with other area investors.

Hello Mark. You came to the right place! I'm a buy/fix and hold investor in the Bay in CA. But you'll find a variety of all strategies here on the website. A few tips on the website and on meeting some fellow investors:

Search for local meetups here or google a local REI club to network with other investors. On the site, the "Learn" link across the top navigation bar has lots of great info, and so do the forums. You can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name when it pops up at the bottom of the message box. 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. Good luck on everything!
