[Nick Tzenevrakis]

Hi everybody, my name is Nick Tzenevrakis. I am living and working full time in Quincy IL and am about to graduate from WIU with a Bachelor's of Science in Construction Management. I work as a Construction Lead on a project team, in the animal nutrition industry, doing R & D for new products and continuous improvement. 

I have recently been turned on to BP through my recent obsession with learning the stock market ( shout out to "We Study Billionaires"). Once I got turned onto the website, I listened to hours of podcasts, watched dozens of videos, bought a couple books, and spend a few hours a day reading forums. Episode #197 really struck a nerve with me. Chris Heeren started in the exact position that I am in right now, and has pushed my drive to a new level. I want to dive into the industry and begin the learning process. 

I currently am renting a home, but am pre-qualified to buy my first home. I'm on the prowl for a house that needs some sweat equity. After I find my first deal and move in, I will look for my first BRRRR deal, then move on to new cities and states! My priority has to be getting out of my rental first though, $850 a month isn't bad, but it could be quite a bit less on a 30yr mortgage, giving me more money to invest. I'm actively searching the local market though realtors as well as driving for dollars. I'm as green as the come, but driven to be successful and will not allow myself to fail. Tips to get started are always welcome, I've read about every article I can! I really am just in search of a good deal now.
