Hi everyone,

I'm so glad I found my way to bigger pockets. I enjoy listening to the bigger pockets podcast hearing success stories regular joe's like myself. It motivates me and makes me believe I too can be successful in REI. I look forward to connecting with some awesome people here on BP. A little about myself, my name is Jerrid Burke. I am 34 years old. I'm a veteran of the United States Navy, a former Professional MMA fighter and new firefighter. My life path has brought me here to bigger pockets seeking to enter the REI world. With a 24hr on 48hr off schedule I was looking to be productive with my time off so I started reading self improvement books which led my to business books and finally to real estate books, podcast and whatever source of information about real estate I can get my hands on. I'm very motivated to figure out a path to purchase my own investment properties to enable me and my family to have a better financial future. I look forward interacting in the forums and learning all I can from people who have been there!
