Hi to all in the BP community

[Dave J.]

Hello everyone,

After many detours I'm now ready to jump into this both feet, is the water cold? Been reading the forums and listening to podcast for couple of months.

My name is Dave, I'm from Ireland (Dublin) and have lived in Florida for almost a decade now. I'm 39 yrs and (happily) divorced. I love it here in the US. Every day here is a new opportunity.

I invite you to check out my profile, and say hi. Constructive criticism also welcomed. 

I have to say this is a brilliant site and I tip my hat to @JoshuaDorkin and @BrandonTurner and all the other staff/contributors.

I'm in no way a procrastinator just had lots to sort to leave me free to start. I'm holding myself accountable from now, and will be more active here on BP. 

It would be remiss of me not to mention a few particular members here whose post(s) I've eagerly read and dissected these past couple of months. Apologies in advance to all if it's out of line mentioning you in my first post/introduction ( forum rules? ) but don't "they" say it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission. .. @BillG and @John Jackson. Guys, great advice always. I like that you're both direct in your narrative any time a question is posed. Knowing yourselves and others are available here should any of us newbies need direction or answers is priceless. P.S: John I like that old youtube video of yours-the prank call when you were driving with some students very funny but something tells me you didn't get a call back lol.

Finally a respectful shoutout to @BrianGibbons. Brian I can only hope one day to have your knowledge. Always informative in the forums and the youtube videos are saved on my drive. Keep paying it forward. A true master and gentleman.

Hopefully did the "@" parts correct there?

So to everyone, Dia Duit, ag súil go mór páirt a ghlacadh agus ag fáil a fhios agat go léir (Hello, looking forward to participating and getting to know you all).

Dave J.

Hi @Dave J. 

Welcome to the site, I´m also Irish but living in Spain. I have two business partners in the Tampa Bay area (one is also from Dublin) and we purchase rentals and flips in that area and elsewhere. Also was quite involved in Orlando condo sales from 2008-2011 although not so much now. 

Happy to schedule a skype call if you want to run anything past me for your first deal or two.
