Hello Everyone.  I will remain brief.  I am a new member located in North Alabama with no real experience in real-estate investing.  I am just trying to become educated in this field and if I make the jump give it a 110% to become successful.  I look forward to learning and interacting in this great environment.

Thank you for the advice Kate H.  It is always welcome!  It looks like we are both getting started in this even though I'm sure you are much much further along than I.  Good luck with your endeavor!

Same to you! I started browsing around on BP in January of this year and made it a priority to do something REI related every single day. After just a couple of months you'll begin noticing how much a difference in confidence it makes. I now feel ready to start making offers, something that sounded way too scary just a few months ago.

Hello Jame and thank you for the welcome.  I'm still determing the type as I learn, but my initial thought is in residential rental properties.

    @Heath Lester

    Welcome to Bigger Pockets. BP is full of resources. You will find resources here from blogs to pod casts and forums. You can also send messages to members which is my favorite part of the website.
