Excited to be here!!

[Linda B.]

Hey everyone!!! I am Linda Barr:)  I am joining today as a new investor in Denver Colorado.  I am originally from California born and raised.  My husband and I moved here 2 years ago for his service duty to the Army.  My husband actually introduced me to the Bigger Pockets community and I am excited to get involved.  We have started our business in wholesaling, flipping and rehabbing.  I look forward to learning more about the community and getting out and growing with the people around me.

Welcome to the site Linda!  I am in Cheyenne, WY and also a transplant from Calif. (southern) about 14 years ago.

It looks like you and your husband are well on your way to REI. This is a great site with tons of information.

Welcome to the site!  I am also new to this business, a transplant from California after I got out of the Army - Go SoCal! and originally from Huntington Beach.

@Linda B.

Hey Welcome to the site. The good news is that you are in a great area to invest and of course BP headquarters is there (I believe). Also my thank your husband for his service as that is what allows us to do what we do in REI.

In the meantime:

1. New to BP?

2. Develop your own business strategy. -- Don’t just be a “jack-of-all-trades"

3. Grow your business by developing your business plan. - Remember there is a difference between goals and a plan.

4. Locate and attend several different local REIAs as they’re great opportunities to network and meet wholesalers, lenders, and contractors.

5. Stay away from the “guru” sales-pitch events - they rarely increase your investment knowledge, they merely empty your wallet!

6. Spend 30 minutes a day on Bigger Pockets by connecting with “colleagues,” perusing blogs and videos, and engaging with others on the forums:

7. Set yourself up to receive free alerts to be notified of subjects that interest you:

Welcome to BP community @Linda B.  It is a great place to meet new friends and learn about various aspects of real estate and more. 

I am a real estate investor from Southern California, my personal strategy is buy and hold for single family homes. I also invest in trust deeds.

Wishing you the best!

Welcome to Bigger Pockets from yet another SoCal transplant!  Fun that both you and your spouse are on the site.  My husband and I invest together as a team, and he'll go to BiggerPockets meet-ups with me, but he isn't a full fledged BP member.

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome.  I appreciate all of the info and support.:)
