Let's get started.

Hello everyone my name is Barron K. Jefferson. I'm looking to start my business buying & flipping homes. But my main goal is to buy and hold for passive income. I'm looking to play monopoly if you know what I mean. I want to do this business right. I know there's going to be a lot of ups and down but I'm willing to take what's coming and learn from it. Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Hello "BP Newbie" and welcome to Bigger Pockets.

In the meantime here are 7 tips to help you grow your business using BP:

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:
