Newbie here, Let me introduce myself :)

Hello BP Family! I've only posted a few questions and the people who have reached out have given me tremendous amounts of courage and I love that I can make contacts here so easily!

So anyway, let me introduce myself!

My name is Dave and I'm just outside North Philadelphia in a town called Croydon, right between Bristol-Bensalem-Levittown.

I've been studying and been attending the webinars and podcasts regularly for about 2 months now and I can't express how excited I am to break into this field. As in my life, I love a good challenge, and I love the idea of financial freedom even more!

More about me... I currently work for SEPTA in Philadelphia as a welder/fabricator and while it's a great job I don't wish to see my life gone before I am able to live it, I'm sure you all know the deal with that.

I build motorized drift trikes in my off-time (Google them if you're curious) and they're tons of fun. I even have one just to ride around at car shows, a "show trike" if you would like to call it that.

Anyway, I've worked as a Boilermaker in refineries and a few Nukes and I've also worked on the Tappan Zee bridge which is a 5 mile long bridge from New York to Connecticut, I love my trade and I love the challenge that it brings.

So to sum it up, I am here to learn as much as possible to bring on that first deal!

All in all, I'd love any help anyone is able to provide, and if anyone would like to help me out in person I'd take it up in a heartbeat.

Also, I'm not selling my trade, but since this seems like a family, if you're in my area and need any welding work, I'd be more than happy to help any friendly colleague I meet! Not for sale, possibly a trade off just to pick your brain!!

A long winded post but thanks for taking the time to get to know me and I can't wait to bring this dream to reality!

Thanks again for all that reach out to offer their help to an aspiring investor!

-Dave

P.s. Here is a pic of my show trike incase you wanted to see what it is I do in my off time for myself or to build for friends/clients
