Hello all! I'm brand new and from Tulsa, Oklahoma
I'm a relative novice in real estate from the investment view. Check out my profile or message me if you want to know more about how I "got started" in real estate. I do have some experience with fix-n-flips, wholesaling, and owner finance. Of course, I would like to learn more. However, and more importantly, I want to DO more. I've been "thinking about" and "wanting to" for a long time. I believe there comes a point where you just have to jump in and get start getting dirty. I think I'm there.
My big "carrot on a stick" goal for my family is to be able to buy a live aboard sailboat and sail around the world. Several years ago my wife and I sold everything thing we owned and walked 1,000 miles, across 5 states, with nothing but backpacks. We didn't know where we would lay our heads at night and it was the most amazing feeling of freedom you could imagine! Our little saying was, "you can't be lost if you have nowhere to be." We want to live out a version of that freedom everyday and bring our children up in it. So we have chosen RE as the vehicle to get us there. I stumbled upon bigger pockets through the podcast on my phone. I LOVE THE PODCAST! If you haven't listened to the podcast you really don't know what you're missing.
I can't wait to meet some folks and make some friends. Wishing you full sails and bigger pockets from Tulsa, OK.

Welcome to BP @Jeffrey Vandagriff. I'm new to real estate too. My wife loves the idea of living aboard a sailboat and sailing around the world. I had never sailed before meeting her six years ago, but she's taught me a lot and I love it. And that sounds awesome about your walking journey. I'm a big advocate for walking and bicycling in Tulsa. There's no better way to experience the city and your surroundings.
