Hello BP! A newbie here from the Golden Triangle. I've been lurking for a few weeks and decided to sign up and do a few webinars. Looking forward to learning and networking in my area. I am currently in the IT field and my wife is self employed. We have a shaved ice stand in Lumberton, and we're both very entrepreneurial so we're always looking for the next thing to get our hands in. We happen to stumble upon the idea of REI through friends of ours who own 3 rent houses in the area and the more we investigated the possibility, the more acquaintances we found that do it, and the more we saw that it felt our lifestyle and life goals (to be financially independent and able to do missions work).

So here I am, trying to consume all of this great info, and get familiar with this huge community. Its a bit overwhelming!
