Hello all,

My name is Andrew and I am excited about the wealth of information I have already come across on this site. I currently work full time in the Oil Industry as an Wholesale Pricing Oil Analyst. Though I like what I do, I am looking for a career that will give me a bit more flexibility and allow me to control my financial destiny. I just turned 30 and purchased my first home last year. I learned a lot through this process and it has urged me to dive into this industry a little deeper. Other passions of mine include precious metal investing, practicing Mixed Martial Arts, working with various charities, and anything that puts me on or near the water :)

My goals and reasons for joining: I am the first to admit I know very little about land investing. For now, I would like to stick to just land investments however you tell me if this is a newbie mistake. I am here to take any advice, especially for a new investor and hopefully find a local mentor. I am a hard worker who learns best with a hands on approach. Please if you have any advice or suggestions leave me a message.

I look forward to hearing from you all and appreciate you taking the time to read my post.

- Andrew

Andrew, 

My first son is a few years older then you and his name is also Andrew, :)) 

First Congrats for want to to expand your wealth and your control over your life and 

Welcome to BP. If you have not yet go to the learning tab, you will find a lot of great information there.

There is no wrong place to start investing. Where you start will be directed by what you have to get started and what you want out of RE investing. 

I have bought hundreds of land deals. I like to call it land banking. 

I would be happy to speak with you to answer any questions you may have.

We also have a few things in common based on your list you made.
