Greetings Everyone!

Well, I’m quite new to the real estate game, but I am quite eager to dive in! I downloaded the Ultimate Beginners Guide from BG, and trying to learn as much as I can from Investing in Real Estate by Gary Eldred. That book has been wonderful so far, especially for a person starting from ground zero. I would have never found myself here without the brilliant guidance of a financial blogger, who I won’t name so it doesn’t appear that I’m trying to plug their website. Alas, that blogger has mentioned BiggerPockets, and here I am.

I was born in South Florida and joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 2003. While I was in the Marines, I graduated with my B.A. in psychology, and I’m currently planning to attend FSU online for my MBA. I spent six years traveling the world which lead to my current occupation as a security contractor. As of now, I am in Belgium which is the 32nd country I have been afforded the opportunity of visiting. For the moment, the most I've been involved in real estate is my REIT index, also known as the lazy man's landlord. But things are about to change for the reason that I have just been approved for my first mortgage loan!

And now, I must thoroughly plan before I attack, which is what has lead me to this website. Such a wealth of knowledge and experience is truly wonderful, and I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity to be here. I also read chapter two of the BG’s guide, and don’t want to get analysis paralysis, but don’t worry, the book, The Magic of Thinking Big, turned my fear into action. I greatly look forward to being a part of this tremendous community!

Kind Regards,

Angelo Behar
