Hello everyone!

I just found out about BiggerPockets and had to sign up right away! I have been extremely fascinated with real estate for the past year or so and am now ready to take the jump into it within the very near future. I am very new to it and any information, tips, or guidelines will help me, so every bit of info I collect is appreciated.  I currently live in Buffalo, NY but have always been highly interested in owning southern property (florida, beach front).

I have certain goals that I've established for myself when I do get into real estate, and hopefully I can achieve them as soon as possible. I have always been an entrepreneur, so growing my "real estate empire" is my #1 goal right now, whether it be through flipping, renting, owning, or anything else. I know being here on BP can absolutely help me with the forums, linking up with other real estate people, and finding deals as well. I cant wait to get into the discussions here and talk with you all about every aspect of the real estate business. I am very eager to buy my first of hopefully many properties very soon!

Hi Brandon,
