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.
