Hello From St. Louis, MO

[Scott Showers]

Hello everyone! I have been interested in Real Estate for a long time. I served in the Marines as a Machine gunner,  and when I decided to get out in four years, I was unsure of what I wanted to do. Being in the infantry doesn't translate well in the civilian world. 

One day, I was bored so I turned on the TV and a show was on that grabbed my attention, it was a house flipping show. Besides being entertained by the show, I remember thinking to myself, "Wow! They just made more money on one deal than I made in a whole year being in the Marines! I'm going to do that!"

So, I got a job doing construction and I went to a technical school to learn plumbing, carpentry, HVAC and electrical. Well, between work and school, I had no time to actually start a business. Long story short, by the time I graduated I lost interest in doing construction. Although it was okay, I was never passionate about it.

My interest in real estate remained throughout the years. So I started studying and taking courses on different techniques.  I was very excited to learn I can get into real estate without doing any of the physical labor. 

The other passion I have is helping people. To me, there is nothing more rewarding than helping another human being. Recently, an opportunity presented itself to me that involves real estate and helping people, so I jumped all over it.

 Looking forward to connecting with all of you and sharing and receiving all of the knowledge this site has to offer.

Hey Scott,  welcome to BP. There's a meetup next Thursday, Dec 28th in St Louis if you want to come. I know around 15 to 20 people show up, and at least 2 of us are Marines so you'll be right at home. It's at Heavy Riff Brewing co in Dogtown.
