Hello BP, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana

[Robert Lockwood]

Hello Bigger Pockets, from Baton Rouge!  I'm an avid listener to the Bigger Pockets Podcast and am ready to take the leap to get (back in to) real estate.  I plan to invest in the immediate area that I live (Greenwell Springs, LA) but am open to a few other cities in Louisiana that I've lived in and am familiar with (Natchitoches, Denham Springs). I've previously owned an "accidental flip" and been an "accidental landlord".

I'm hoping to pursue a conservative Buy and Hold strategy that will allow me to amplify and quicken my retirement by building long term equity in SFR's

Since I arrived here as a BP Podcast listener I'll conclude in the style of the Podcast:

My favorite RE book: "Building Wealth One House at a Time" by John Schaub

My favorite non-RE business book: "Real Money" by Jim Cramer.  (I believe his "buy and homework" strategy has a lot of applications in RE investment).

Best, -Robert
