Interested in learning as much as possible about real estate investing before jumping in. I learned about BP through a web search about flipping houses. I've already listened to several podcasts, which I have enjoyed, and am reading the beginners guide. I don't have any experience other than the sale of my home, but I have a relentless personality and love to learn. My plan is to work hard towards becoming financially indepedent so I can spend more time with my family.

When I first started I went to the local real estate club meetings. I swapped numbers with a wholesaler, and then days later came across my first deal. I called him and he helped mentor me through the first deal and several others. Clubs are a great start. Finding a mentor can really help you get ahead of the curve as well.
