Paul, welcome to Bigger Pockets!

It sounds like you've had some experience and done a few deals so I know you'll have a lot to contribute here on BP, and I'm sure you'll get something out of it as well.

Are there particular areas in RI you're looking to lend or buy?

For example, I'll look at and do deals anywhere in RI, especially as I have some business partners in south county, but for my buy-and-holds I personally stick to northern RI in the vicinity of Providence/Cranston/Warwick just because it's closer to me.

Also if you haven't visited a local investing group in our area such as RIREIG (rireig.com) or Black Diamond REI (blackdiamondrei.com) I'd recommend that too as it's a nice complement to Bigger Pockets, meeting people face to face, hearing about the latest news in our markets, etc.

And check out the BP podcasts too, they're always entertaining and informative :)
