New to Bigger Pockets and real estate

[Marshall Trawick]

Hi my name is Marshall Trawick, and I am a fairly new Pro member at Bigger Pockets. I have read now about 4 to 5 books, listened to countless podcasts and have been on the hunt for a good property for a few months now. I have offered on several but have come in a little low on all of them. i am looking at many things, but primarily for right now an SFR is my first choice. One the I can force added value into. I have several offers out right now and am waiting on some banks to respond. I am in the process of getting my mailers in so I can mail those out to: Pre-foreclosures (only 11 in my area per listsource.com) probate, city code violations and more. I am just reaching out as I have made numerous offers. I have a mentor who owns 240 plus properties currently that is advising me on these deals ( side note he actually got me interested in the real estate world. I had him in my office and we were having a good conversation and before he left, he mentioned that he was aware that I did well financially but if I wanted to get rich give him a call. Well, I called him about one year ago and I got interested in property, but about 6 months ago I was introduced to Bigger Pockets. That is what got my wheels turning and my endorphins coursing through my body and excitement ensued.)

I guess I am just reaching out to:

Introduce myself

See if there was anyone from close to my area

See if there was any advice out there. 

I feel like I know the Josh Dorkin and Brandon Turner as I listen to them more than I listen to most in my life. I have drank the cool aid if you will and am ready to get my business off the ground. We are on the runway at full throttle, bank has fueled my tank, I'm just waiting for that Agreement of Sale.
