New From Salt Lake City,Utah

I've been loosely working with an investor I met a few years back. I finally put all my ducks in a row and have been looking at buying my first real investment property since late last summer. 

After running into some unexpected roadblocks I'm finally back out looking and ready to purchase. Offer goes in today on a property with 2 homes and a single parcel.

I ran across BP when I decided that I could fill my long school commute with something like an audiobook or podcast. It has been great to hear some real approaches to getting into this business. Here I am.

I have a small amount of experience and have been interested since I was a teen. Like so many, I dabbled and got discouraged after a couple if the "gurus" information never really went anywhere. I bought a condo with my mom and sold it for a decent profit, but had no game plan going forward so that is where it stopped. Owned a hope and did a short sale after divorce and the bubble burst.

I feel like I've grown up a bit and become more persistent in making things happen in life. I still have a lot to learn. I believe that is a constant process though. I'm looking forward to talking with others here and getting a more solid footing on how to start and grow this into a comfortable living and retirement. Hopefully I will be able to give back to others as I learn.
