I'm new to BiggerPockets, and darn glad I found it!  

For years I have watched without investing in real estate, and now that I have semi-retired from business I can take the time to learn and get started with my 'encore career'.  I have recently made an offer on an 8-plex to buy and hold.  I'm also hoping to find or form partnerships, to buy and flip properties locally that I could provide some funding and learn from.  

I don't know if I'll make it through all of the podcasts, but they are a fantastic source of info.  It really is almost like having a mentor.   The forums are very insightful, and the marketplace too.  I found the Rental Property Calculator awesome, enough so that I subscribed to the Pro membership.

I hope to meet other like-minded investors and wealth-builders, who take conservative managed risks, and hopefully I can soon start contributing to the community too!
