Hey BP! My name is Braden and like most others here I'm interested in using real estate to achieve my long-term goal of financial freedom. 

I currently work in IT in Denver but have always been interested in Real Estate and have made the decision that I am going to make a run at this REI game and hopefully turn it into my day job. I'm starting real estate license classes in January to get my license and seriously pondering a switch in careers to being a real estate agent full-time(very scary for me to lose my current salary/benefits) to learn more about the industry while earning commissions. I think I want to start with either wholesaling or 1-2 rental units within the next year but I have a lot more research to do.

I'd love all of your opinions on this and any suggestions you may have.

Thanks and great to be here!
