Hi Folks,

Have been following the BP Podcast for some time now more out of curiosity than not but what I've learned is that I really need to get serious about advancing my REI activities. Have had a couple of rental properties for quite some time now but never really treated it as a business. They were acquired more for tax purposes than anything else. They are fully paid for and return steady income for me now that I am retired. It never occurred to me that the equity might be turned into even better income (head slap!). Enough of that!

So I am here to get the business angle on this process and get underway. I intend making my first purchase in the next 45-60 days, hell or high-water. Will be looking around for ideas, deals and support and am more than willing to lend any assistance I can based on the limited knowledge and experience that I have now.

I'm resident in Los Angeles but will be looking for properties in northern and central FL. 

Look forward to meeting some of you around the community.

Hi Richard,

I am new to BP and REI as well however, I love that BP provides online a community for us to connect. Sounds like you are off to a great start.

All the best,

Sonya
