Noob from DFW!

[Michael C.]

Hi, my name is Mike Carle, and I am relatively new to the real estate business and Bigger Pockets.  I've decided that I want to exit from my corporate job in the next 5-7 years, and at that point have a real estate business up and running that will allow me do that for the rest of my professional life (and hopefully even into retirement).  This is my go at following my passion, and something I truly care about.  My finance job is a good skill, but it doesn't make my want to jump out of bed in the morning.

I've been devouring all of the information on the forums and the podcasts, among other sources trying to get my bearings straight.  Love this place and look forward to learning more.  If I can ever be of help to anyone, feel free to hit me up.

Thanks,

Mike

Welcome to the BP community @Michael C.

Every day I am amazed at how much content is on this site. Have you looked at "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing"?

I live in Murphy. If you ever want to talk about Collin County real estate, let me know.

Recently, @Tony Hernandez posted about a Richardson/North Dallas REI Meetup on August 11 (http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/213910-richardson-north-dallas-rei-meetup-for-august-2015 ). This might be a good place to meet other local BP members and build your network.
