Hello!

My name is Kurt. I am new to investing. Been reading material on BP for about 6 months and just purchased my first duplex. I look forward to connecting with others on this site, sharing my thoughts and experience, and also learning from all of yours. Really love the BP community!

Congrats on the Duplex.  That's what I'd love to get started in but I don't feel comfortable quite yet in that.  Maybe after a few deals I'll take the plunge, but that's the direction I've chosen to go too.

    @Kurt S. Where is your duplex? Seeing that you are in Oxford, is this college property?
