Hello from Jacksonville, Florida

[Aaron Thivierge]

Good morning, fellow BP members.  I am happy to have found this site. Currently, I am on podcast number 12. I absolutely LOVE the knowledge shared amongst this community. I recently have had a change of pace in life. I have been  a veterinarian for 11 years. I am 37 years old, husband and father of two, Jack and Samantha.  Until having children, veterinary medicine really maximized my time. Now, with two small children, my goals have shifted. 
I would like to be home when they wake up in the morning and experience all the joys of their daily adventures.  Buying and holding real estate and flipping houses are the two niche's that most accommodate my lifestyle. 
I have cut back to one day a week from a 7 day work week at my veterinary hospital.  This next phase of my career life will be dedicated to real estate investing.  I have purchased "rich dad poor dad", and I'm catching up on all the podcasts put on by Josh and Brandon at BP radio. I have read the UBG twice.  Thanks for sharing all this knowledge with me.

Hey @Aaron Thivierge 

Welcome to BP, so glad to have you here!  Love that pup picture and love that you have a really powerful why for RE investing beyond just making money.

I've learned SO much from the podcasts, and Rich Dad Poor Dad is a great read on having an investors mindset.

Check out these books as well, written by @J Scott and @Brandon Turner , great reads on flipping houses and creative investing:
