First post from a man who whats to learn

[Giovanny Martinez]

Afternoon people!!

Introducing myself through this medium is not as easy as I thought. But as it has been recommended, just start writing and eventually the content will came out. I am excited and anxious to start this new phase in my life. Becoming a real estate investor has its up and downs, it's risks and rewards, and of course the potential of living a life where I have the opportunity of owning my time and energy; by this I mean, eventually I will not be working a 9 to 5 job where I am constantly following repetitive task day in and out, and where I do not have the freedom to express my self and creativity.

I have been attending college for about four years; I obtained my Associate in Science, I conducted behavioral research as an intern for one year, I became Vice President of Leadership in Phi Theta Kappa local chapter, and I was active in school activities. During this period of my life, I have grown to love to learn, to explore, and to read. I am always looking for more information and ways to apply this knowledge; this is how I came across BiggerPockets Popcast. I have been listening to BiggerPockets podcast for about two months; Joshua & Brandon and the guess have been more than inspiring to me.

The seed of real estate investing was planted by Mr. Robert Kiyosaki four years ago; His book Rich Dad Poor Dad made an emotional impact on me. Back then, I was transitioning from the Marine Corps into the civilian life and planning on attending college. This is why, I did not gave much thought into becoming an investor, but now things are different. I am a different person,I have other priorities, and I have found a gold mine--BiggerPockets.

Thank you,
