First Deal

[William Johnson]

Hello BP. I am a "newbie". I have been in the military for the last six years and for about the last year I have been reading a lot about REI (I have plenty of time out here.) I have found a few deals that I feel would have been profitable had I been state-side to do a little more research and close on them. I will be Honorably Discharged from the United States Navy this year and I plan on diving in head first. What I would like is a few "first deal" stories, good and bad, for two reasons. One, I am currently deployed and these stories entertain me and give me something to do in my off time; and two, give me a little more confidence that I will succeed and carry on after my first deal is done. By the way, I love this web site. Very informative.
