Newbie from Tampa Bay area

[Janette Vogel]

Hi! I'm new to this forum and a new (sort of) Investor. I say sort of because I have done a couple of deals over the past 10 years but have never made it a full time endeavor. I would like to start though. So, I just wanted to say hello to all out there and I will be looking and reading these forums from time to time. I hope to learn a lot from you seasoned professionals!

Hey Janet, welcome to BP! I'm in Dunedin and in a similar boat to you, where I've dabbled around REI before but would like to get more serious.
Lots of great info here (obviously), also some good eBook downloads to check out.
There's a pretty active investors club in the Tampa area, I'm going to my first meeting tomorrow night. Tampareia.com
Good luck!
