Hello everyone,
I am Jacob, I am from minnesota and just looking into getting started in real estate investing. Looking to get into Buy and Hold property. I came upon a few different web sites about people talking about the benefits of real estate investing and after a lot of research it seems like a very exciting opportunity.
I currently do not have any real estate except for a primary residence my wife and I purchased 4 years ago.
I am here to learn as much as I can about anything that may help me in my investing adventures.

Welcome to BP, @Jacob Braaten. Listen to the Podcasts, read as much in the forums as you can, and go to the blog and read everything @Eric D. has ever written. He is pretty hardcore, but he also doesn't have vacancies, evictions, or any of the other hassles that go along with being a landlord. Follow his lead, and you will be glad you did.
