New member living in Palm Harbor Florida

[Steve Liebroder]

New member looking to get involved in real estate investing. I have some mortgage experience (2-3 years as a loan officer years ago). Looking to finally get started in real estate investment after putting it off forever. Looking to create financial freedom over the next 5 to 10 years.

I'm a Realtor® in St. Pete Beach, but I'm in Dunedin several days a week. 

You have a lot of local resources, and there's always great information on BP. 

Make sure you hit Meetup.com and find the local REIA's. Attend more than one, until you find a crew you like. Personally, I love the one that meets at John's Pass in Madeira Beach.

With your background, you have a huge part of the equation - access to money! With a little studying, luck, and most importantly, implementation, you'll crush the financial freedom goal a lot sooner than 10 years. 

If you (or any other local following this topic) would like to grab a cup of coffee one day, please let me know - I love to meet other like-minded people in my general area. It's a breath of fresh air to talk to anyone with an investor's mindset.
