New memeber from Nebraska
Hello All,
My name is Darnell Star and I am a "newbie". I have never been involved in any type of real estate investment business but I am very eager, excited, and enthusiastic about the possibilities. I am a recent honorably discharged vet (Navy) and I work a 6pm-6am 12 hour shift w-2 job. It pays well, however, I am looking for something that will allow me to retire before the national average age for retirement. I am 34 years old and I've decided to be FULLY committed to achieve success in real estate investing.
I am currently in the knowledge phase of my three step plan. I will keep everyone up to date with my progress.

Thank you both for welcoming me to the BP community. I'm really looking forward to learn as much as possible and get started with real estate investing. I will be learning as much as possible from investors such as yourselves and I'm looking forward to that as well.
