New guy from Salt Lake Valley, UTAH

Hi BP Nation! My name is Tiago Alencar, married up to my hot wife and have one son. I've lived in the Salt Lake Valley for the last 14yrs. The 14 yrs before that I lived in Brazil. Just like a lot of people here the book with the guy with two dads was my turning point. I always had an entrepreneurial mind set but never really understood it until I read that book. Since I finished that book for the first time four years ago I still haven't done a real estate deal and the reason why is because I believe that my expectation was not realistic. Since trying to start in RE wasn't working out, I decided to start a more traditional business cleaning carpets, windows etc, and have learned through building this business what it really takes to get a business off the ground, aka looooooooooopottsss of work, perseverance, and money. Now that my expectations are more realistic I thought it would be a good time to start looking at real estate again, this time with a LOT more realistic expectations, and humility.

Welcome Tiago.

I am new as well and just to the south of you in Utah Valley.

I am in the same boat as you are with the two dads book. That changed my outlook on my future as well.  I hope you are right and it is a good time to get started in real estate.

Anyways welcome I wish you all the luck.

Josh
