Small City, Big Dreams (Washington DC)
Hello BP Family,
I am Patrick "Steez" Speller. I'm from the Big, Little City of Nashville, Tennessee but I moved to Washington, DC, for school at THE illustrious Howard University (Recent grad: Class of 2017!), where I see myself living for the foreseeable future. I have no real estate experience besides: a couple of face-to-face meetings with individuals already in the real estate business at some capacity, a handful of failed cold calls, some poorly placed bandit signs, and an unproductive mailing list. But, hey, it's a marathon so I'm going to keep it moving.
I am here to network with individuals that can steer me in the "right" direction to help achieve my goals. I'm not here to waste anyone's time, so in return I will provide as much value on my end as possible; whether that includes doing any tasks that one may find arduous and humdrum or simply taking action immediately with an all-in state of mind.
To Our Mutual Benefit,
Patrick Speller

H U! Now that that's out of my system, welcome @Patrick Speller, and congratulations! I'm a newbie from Baltimore. You'll find BP is a wealth of information and you're almost always certain to find the answers to any questions you might have. Cruise the forums, comment and enjoy the ride. Stick to your plan, adjust as needed and keep moving. You might want to check out your local REIA meetings as I just attended my first a few weeks ago and found a very supportive group of folks. Good Luck!
