Very hungry from Arlington, TX

[James Sargent]

Hi, I am a new Pro member as of today. I found BiggerPockets website last week and I've been devouring all the information and knowledge. Not sure how I never came across this site before. I've been reading real estate books for 10 yrs now but never understood how I would be able to do it. I am currently the owner of a small Electrical Contracting company with most of my work in Dallas.

I quit my job 3 yrs ago with only my last paycheck in the bank to work for myself and now have 6 employees. So I WILL take risks. Although it was a great decision, I'm really just making a living. I'm practically married to my company and have no freedom whatsoever. I rob my family by working 7 days a week anywhere from 10-14 hrs per day.

I am ready for some financial freedom and hope to meet people in my area I can learn from but also share with. I plan to do my first deal by the end of the year and then conquer the world. Because of BiggerPockets, I have only been sleeping 4-5 hrs a night the past wk. Thanks for reading
