Spartanburg, SC newbie here!

[JD Morris]

Hey everyone, JD Morris here. I’m brand new to BP and brand new to the idea of real estate investing! My goals are to invest for retirement and possibly extra cash flow for our family along the way. I’m a youth pastor and I love my job. So I have no plans to do this as a career. But given the nature of my job, we haven’t really been able to put anything back for retirement and the word investment is just now entering my vocabulary at age 35. So I have some catching up to do. But I’m excited! I have already connected with a local investors group and have found a couple mentors who are helping me. I’ve also been listening to the BP podcast and have read a couple of Brandon’s books about investing in rentals. I’m currently learning/practicing how to analyze property and my first goal is to purchase my first property by the end of January. My second goal is to get 3-5 doors by the end of 2018. Not sure how doable that is but I’m aiming for that and will adjust if necessary. Thanks for reading! Any advice is welcomed!

The meeting I go to is in Spartanburg at Denny’s on rt 296 every Wednesday morning. I’m not sure if they are an official group or not. But it has been extremely helpful!
