Hi all!

I've been lurking the site the past few weeks as I begin my real estate investing journey. The knowledge and resources this site has to offer have been really helpful, so I decided to join and introduce myself.

I'm relatively new to real estate investing, but have been reading everything I can get my hands on over the past few months, and have attended a couple of REI meetings to network with local investors. At this point I'm primarily interested in wholesaling/flipping but I'd like to slowly reinvest the profits into buy and hold deals for long-term wealth.

After educating myself for a few months, I finally started taking action this month. I'm still diligently searching for my first deal. I've come close twice, although both deals ultimately fell through. It's been tough, but I learned a lot by actually going through the process of evaluating a deal, negotiating with the seller, etc.

Anyway, thanks for the great site and I'm looking forward to being an active member in the BP community!
