Hello BP Community-

After reading the Cash Flow Quadrant, I started listening to Real Estate investing on YouTube and found the BP podcasts and blogs. I've been listening to them for over a year now. I have a full-time job as a project manager at a government job. This job has allowed me to fine-tune some management skills that can be associated with Real Estate Investing. It provides me with a solid income to allow me to purchase deals. I've been in customer service positions for over 25 years. A couple of years ago, I initially listed my own home on airbnb.com as I live in a vacation area. From that point in time, I have learned so much. I hope to find some deals investing in Real Estate for positive cash flow, including vacation rentals in Galveston. Thanks to BP I have a pathway to learn the ropes and a framework with which to analyze deals. Wow! I didn't know I could have some help and guidance with learning as it initially seemed overwhelming. Recently, I am taking actionable steps to accomplish my goals. I have connected with a local REIN. I just refinanced my home for cash back and got rid of my PMI because of the equity. I am able to get my membership on BP and devote more time and energy into actively fulfilling my dreams. I have loved looking at properties since I was a child. This is the most exciting new adventure I have been yet! I am already analyzing a vacation cottage as an option. The neat thing is that I can actually come up with a 20% down payment!
