New member from Sacramento, California excited to learn!

[Robbin Jones]

Hello everyone,

My name is Robbin. I am a new graduate from California State University, Sacramento with a bachelors in psychology. Prior to obtaining my college degree I was in the United States Marine Corps and had the pleasure of gaining unbelievable worldly experience.

Learning has always been a great passion of mine, but the traditional path of school to a career in a stable market has never appealed to me. Upon studying the work of the most successful entrepreneurs around the world, I have been determined to create my own lifestyle by build my own wealth. Currently I am going through a counseling/coaching course to build my skill set while working towards creating my own businesses.

My ultimate goal is to buy and renovate real estate to flip on the market. To reach that goal I am starting off with wholesaling to gain experience and build capital. I have no prior training in real estate so I am currently educating myself and networking within the field. I have decided to dedicate all of my time towards developing a successful business in real estate while I have no obligations to provide for a family.

I am eager to build strong relationships with everyone in this great community!

Rob

Welcome to BP Robbin,

Lots of great advice already.

Depending on your plans and financial position, you might want to build out a "general" network through attending local Chamber Networking events in addition to the RE events.

They can broaden your reach and may offer you a path to generate some traditional income while your build momentum in your real estate business: www.thechamberlink.com is a great clearing house for all the local chamber events you can attend based on your criteria. I don't have a dog in that fight, I've just found that keeping track of all the potential mixers and events you could possible attend in a given area is laughably difficult. Getting a digest emailed to me a few times a month is much easier.

Don't forget to get involved in your local veteran's networking and business organizations as well. You paid the price of admission, use them: The National Marine Corps Business Network, (www.nmcbn.com), is one I belong to, (I am also one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children), and @Stephen Haynes belongs to a local chapter of the Semper Fi Association.

Looking forward to hearing about your progress, ping me if you'd like to get coffee; I'm buying. Or we can invite the Air Forcc, (@Zachary A.), and make them buy, they always have money...
