Hello BiggerPockets community, 

My name is Lan Nguyen, I am 25 years old. For the past 5 years I have always been wanting to become a real estate investor. But I always find reasons to back out. I have try multiple kinds of investing such as stock, option, and commodity (specifically gold). However, I always invest in a conservative way and keep being afraid of losing money.

I found investing in real estate that suits my investing style, but I always make excuse and avoid learning it. I just came back from a long and far vacation, I have learn many things and the trip has completely changed the way I think.  I said to myself: I don't want to live the past life anymore, I don't want to keep afraid of losing money, or work for money the rest of my life. I now know that I am a newbie with no experience. And I believe this place can give me the resources that I need to pursue my real estate investment and become a successful investor. 

I am reading Brandon Turner book on real estate rental investment and am excited to start the journey. I came across couple podcasts and am astounded by how smart people are, here at BP. I hope everyone will welcome me and I am grateful to become a member at BP. Thank you and looking forward to connect with you all. Sincerely.
