[Tim O'Brien]

Hello fellow BP members,

My name is Tim, and I live in Denver.

My day job is flying.  This is both a great job as well as something I love doing.  So I'm pretty lucky in that respect.  The thing about this career path is it can be a rocky road.  

I have been toying with the idea of buying a property that needs some work, but would end up being a good rental income.  I'd like to build to two or three.  My goal is to have some good passive income that I'm able to manage myself.  I live pretty simply and don't need huge amounts of cash.  All this is to work toward achieving financial independence (FI).

I've joined the BP community mainly for educational purposes.  I have a pretty good background in construction, as well as a fairly good network of people in that industry.  However I do know that this is only one small piece of the real estate investing pie.  I'd like to find a mentor in the Denver area who might be willing to walk me through a deal of theirs, or maybe someday a deal of my own.  I don't see myself having the extra cash for another year or so.  This makes this a perfect opportunity to gain some education while I build.

Looking forward to it!
