Newbie from Baton Rouge, LA
Greetings,
My name is Floyd Ford from Baton Rouge, LA . I have been lurking on the BP forums for almost about a year now, so it's time to get over this analysis paralysis. I'm ready to dive into my first investment.
I'm originally from Opelousas, LA but I currently live in the Baton Rouge, LA. I graduated from Southern University with a degree in Economics, and I'm currently working on my MBA. My goal with real estate is become financially free. I plan to one day be a silent investor.
I currently don't own any properties, but from the research I've been doing, I would like to focus more on multifamily units. I'm given some thought on house hacking but finding the right deal has proven to be difficult.With that being said I look forward to getting more involved on the site, and meeting a few more experienced individuals that can help me along my journey.
Thanks,
Floyd

Welcome to BP @Floyd Ford! I recommend you look up "The RING" to meet other investors in the Baton Rouge market. Look for the group on meetup.com.
If you've been lurking around here for a year, I hope you've been listening to the podcasts? They are like short courses on the different ways you can invest in real estate.
I hope to see you around the site or around BR! I also happen to invest in Opelousas and Baton Rouge too. I'm closing on another property in BR tomorrow as a matter of fact!
Feel free to reach out if I might be able to help you.
