Newbie from Grapevine, TX

[Chad Tate]

Greetings everyone! I'm a pilot currently living in Grapevine, TX and am new to REI. I've always had an interest in real estate but never took the time to learn more about it. I've recently gotten a renewed excitement for investing with hopes to supplement my income while learning more and more every day. For now, my initial interests are in flipping and wholesaling. I likely don't have the resources to buy and hold at this early date, but that's a future interest as well. Regardless, I'm excited, eager and committed to become successful.

I've started with BP's free course, which is fantastic!  I've also started reading as much as I can and becoming more and more familiar with the plethora of information on BP.  Seems like a great community and I'm looking forward to meeting and working with others in similar situations.

My first concern is with how hot the market continues to be all around my local area, along with the coming election and turmoil in the EU with Brexit, etc. Doesn't exactly seem like the best time for a newbie to be jumping into REI, but I'll continue to read, question and learn before jumping to conclusions.

Thanks for taking the time to welcome another newbie!
