New agent from Washington

[John Cohen]

I am a new real estate from Gig Harbor, WA and started listening to BP about a month ago. I have listened to many podcasts and am very impressed! I also have a full time job and am trying to figure out how to balance it all. I look forward to engaging on BP, using the tools, and can't wait to find my first deal!

Hello @John Cohen, and welcome the south Puget Sound real estate investment community!

You've already discovered the podcasts, I recommend downloading a couple and listening to them in your car as you go about your day, being an agent, I'm sure you spend a lot of your time on the road, may as well get some serious use outta that right?

As for other ways you can continue to build your education while working a full-time job, I would first look to start narrowing down both the investment path and geographic area you plan on focusing on. Broadly speaking, most REI will fall under one of the following: Wholesaling, Flipping, Buy-Hold, Notes. I recommend deciding which will best suit your life-work balance and diving into an education there.

There is also an informal Meet-Up on Monday in Lakewood, great way for you to get out and start building a network of local investors. @Kevin C., @Troy Fisher, and @Tiffany Plovie run the local meets, hope to see you there!
