New Investor in DC Area - Jumping in head first!

Good Evening BP! I have been a free member of BP for a few months now. I religiously listen to the podcasts. And just now upgraded to Pro. 

Sad and proud to say this is my first post. Should have been done sooner but here I am. Background on myself: I am a 17 year employee for my local government. Was a part time mortgage loan officer form 2003-2010. I started my own investing company in December of 2014. I belong to local REIA's and investment groups but honestly still feel unfulfilled.

Looking to make the right connections with the right people here on BP. Let's Connect!

    Glad you have posted this @Brendan Murphy! I love talking about real estate and it sounds like you already have some great knowledge being a former mortgage broker? I have found my whole network here on BP where we work together and pass deals along to one another. It is an amazing place to be, and honestly, I could not imagine there will ever be a better place for like-minded people to chat and meet. 

    Thanks for reaching out and feel free to message any of us- especially those in your market. I am sure you know you can go to the network tab and find people close to you but this is how I found my business partner and now friend. I could not have done better on my own. Thanks BP and @Joshua Dorkin!
