Thank you all for having me! I'm super excited to finally make my first post here on BP!
My current day job is managing my fathers car dealership about an hour outside of Philadelphia. I also live in the area and am looking to start investing close to home. I am about halfway through getting my real estate license in PA and I'm looking forward to fully immersing myself in real estate and letting go of the car dealer gig as soon as possible. I'm ready to jump in with both feet and am currently looking for my first fix and flip deal.
I recently picked up a nasty addiction...to the BP podcasts that is! Those things are like real estate crack for a newbie investor. I love it, thanks to Josh and Brandon for all the time you put in making them happen.
I'm looking to get to some local REIA's in the near future so if anyone has any info about any meetings coming up in my area I'd welcome the recommendation.
I have a couple ideas and a possible deal that I'll be posting about soon, not to mention a few hundred questions. :)
Thanks again and I look forward to connecting with many of you soon!
Hey @Jason Shellaway welcome to BP! I'm glad you're enjoying the podcast. You should definitely start jumping right in the forums! Also, if you haven't yet, try to setup some "Keyword Alerts." It's great for getting into local conversations.
Thanks @Brandon Turner I've been playing around with the alerts. I actually had to dial it back a little at first. My alerts were blowing up! Great tool.
Howdy Neighbor! DIG is a great place to start. Also go to Meetup.com for other REIAs in the area. Welcome and good luck! i am sure i will see you at a few meetups.
Jason, I am also a relatively new member of BP and today is the first day I have posted on the forums. It's a good step, I believe — a sort of assertion that you are truly committed to making your plans turn into action. Reading the replies you received so far, I am rather envious of you living among so many active investors, as I live far away on the other side of the world where BP isn't too well known yet. All I can say is take adantage of your access to meetups and enjoy the ride! Best of luck with your investing goals!
