Hi guys. My name is Jonathan. I live in Dallas TX. Hope your Sunday is treating you well. My goal is to be an investor in rental buy-and-hold properties, and perhaps one day rehabbing properties as well. I joined BiggerPockets recently in terms of registering on the site but have been watching/listening/reading etc for a few years now. I discovered BiggerPockets on YouTube. I have been involved with real estate only in terms of reading, researching, watching, learning. Been doing all of the above EXCEPT for the take action part, for about 3-4 years now I wanna say. It’s kind of a blur. I sort of discount this somewhat since action is what obviously leads to results. Knowledge does no good without the action. And it is time to change that. Real estate is a part of my retirement strategy and something I’ve been wanting to do for...maybe 7 years. So, it’s time to take action NOW rather than later so I’m not scratching my head later down the road wondering what happened.
 My next goals as of right now is to save more so I can do more, learn how to analyze deals better then do it, how to go about offering on deals I want to close, tax strategies and advantages according to my deal types. I am also in search of networking and growing my network. I’m excited to get this going! Let’s close some deals!
