  Hello BP! My name is Jake Benzow. I'm fairly new to BP. I was told about this amazing site by a friend when I was asking for some advice on my decision to change my career path and get into real estate at 38 years old. I can't thank him enough for pointing me in this direction! I am amazed at the education and sense of community found here!

  I passed the WI state sales licensing exam this morning and have submitted my application to the state this afternoon. I have also started a search for a job in real estate that can hopefully replace the pay of my current job that I desperately want out of. I am looking to focus on investment properties, however I'm not sure if that will be in residential or commercial RE. I am also in the process of developing a plan to start investing in properties personally and developing a portfolio of my own.

  I'm looking forward to networking, learning and growing with all of you!
