Hello Bigger Pockets world!

I'm new to the site, finally broke down and joined after listening to the podcast for a couple months now (those guys really are shameless with the plugs!  but hey, you gotta do it).  Actually started pumping audio into my head after getting a clue from Life Leadership that you have to motivate daily (like bathing, thanks Zig Ziglar), something I'd already heard before, but just did not act on.  

I mention that story because it had surprisingly immediate results for me once I started motivating myself consistently.  I've been a real estate investor since 2006, acquired a second rental property in 2011 and basically have been moving at the speed of a glacier.  I've been very interested in trying a flip for the last few years and always got stuck on that typical, "got no money" excuse.  Well, I just heard the right thing one day and I realized that I am fully capable of making it happen.

So now I'm about to purchase my first rehab, will have a very interesting project to tackle over the summer, and start taking a much more active role in my real estate investing business.
