Hey everyone,

I'm slowing learning my way around BP site and realize that I didn't had the opportunity to introduce myself. I enjoy reading all the post and hope that I can provide helpful information to you all as well. My interests are in Wholesaling, Fix and Flip, and passive income through rentals and tax lien investing. For now, I'm interested in  doing business in the Virgin Islands and Florida. 

Marci.

Marcia:

Good morning, and welcome to BP! Here's some food for thought:

Before you make your first investment, meet with a mortgage/financial professional. They'll ask you to share your short- AND long-term goals, and then they'll help you construct a plan that will do two things:

1. Achieve your short-term goals that will produce proceeds and resources that will,

2. Give you the wherewithal to pursue and achieve your long-term goals

Many investors start off "too hot", and they either overdevelop their first property or they spend their money too fast - either of these behavior will stop you dead in your tracks, and you probably won't even be able to achieve your short-term goals - and you certainly won't have the resources to pursue your long-term goals. Since you're not paying a mortgage pro for consulting, it's in their best interest to give you a solid plan so you're successful.

I wish you the very best!

Grant
