Ambitious newbie from Texas!

[Nolan Merrill]

Hello Everyone!!

I've been a fly on the wall with BP for about 2 years. Those 2 years I've been trying to educate myself but you can only learn so much without taking action! Last week I finally went PRO and I'm beginning to engage in all that BP has to offer.

I'm a recent college grad and very excited to meet people and create relationships with other ambitious investors! 

My market is the Rockwall, Texas area in eastern DFW. I'm new to the area as of March but am learning a lot about this market and I strive to purchase my first property for a fix and flip or live-in-flip very soon! 

I look forward to connecting with all of you!

Nolan:

Welcome to BP!  Since I'm not in your state, I hope you'll see my advice for what it is (advice) rather than a pitch for business.  : )

As you're just beginning this journey, I would highly recommend you meet with a mortgage/financial professional as soon as possible.  He/she should ask you to lay out your short- and long-term goals so he/she can help you construct a plan that will enable you to reach your short-term goals and reap results that will provide resources necessary to pursue and achieve your long-term goals.  Quite often, investors start off "too hot" and end up either overdeveloping or spending their money too fast - this will definitely short-circuit your plans and severely limit your future options.  

If you don't know any mortgage/financial pros personally, I would highly recommend finding a handful of investors whom you respect and asking them for a referral.  I wish you the very best!
