Just Getting Started in Tampa, FL

[Andrew Ellis]

Happy Friday everybody!  I'm an active duty US Navy Chief Petty Officer, brand-new BPer and real estate enthusiast, I got turned on to this whole game (and BiggerPockets) at the suggestion of a coworker shortly after I moved to Tampa back in July.  I'm a voracious consumer of the BP Podcast and just about every book they've mentioned on there, I find the possibilities of real estate to be absolutely fascinating!

I don't have any real capital to jump in with at the moment, my wife isn't able to work right now so my single income doesn't stretch as far as it used to.  Until we can get a down payment together I'm working toward getting my real estate license so I can get involved in the industry in my off time from the day job.  I'm also looking for any real estate professionals who would be willing to let me work for/with them on a part-time basis as an assistant, "bird dog", or whatever they might need so I can get some real world experience.

I look forward to getting to know everyone!
