Newbie from Las vegas, NV

[Justin Foley]

Hello, my name is Justin Foley, and I am excited to get to know you all.

I am 22 years old, and I currently live in Las vegas, NV. The only experience I have in real estate investing is a wholesale deal I did to pay for nursing school tuition. That being said, I now have other priorities in life, and I know becoming a full-time real estate investor will provide the life I know my family deserves.

What brought me to BP, is that I was going to pay almost $400 dollars for a mentorship program offered by a hard money lender a couple of states over. While doing a little more research, I was notified of Mr. J. Scott's "The book on flipping houses". Best $30 bucks Ive ever spent.

After countless hours re-reading and highlighting every other sentence in this book, I can say I without a doubt humbled by my lack of knowledge, but also edified in a way I was hoping for.

As I am young, my cash reserves are not the best (still a few more months of student loan payments), I will not let this deter me, as I know that If i find a good enough deal, the money will find me.

I do not know any real estate professionals in my personal life. The book talks alot about networking with other investors, asking for advice, referrals, ect. As I now know BP message boards exist, I intend to full advantage of that fact by reaching out to the community.

As I become more involved here, I would just ask that everyone be patient with me as I ask ALOT of questions. I will be respectful of everyone's time, but I know that if I dont ask, I'll never get the answers I need.

I truly believe that my path to success will be greatly attributed to my interactions on this site. For that, I am thankful for this community.

Any questions, my inbox is free. I have to go compile a list of questions that are eating at me now. I will be talking to you all soon :)
