Hey guys!
A little about myself: I am BARELY getting into the world of Real Estate Investing and I am here to learn as much as I can. I have been listening to the podcasts religiously since the day I discovered BP, and have also been taking advantage of all the massive amounts of information from the blogs, forums, and free books provided.
Unfortunately, I do not have much experience in Real Estate. I am a Navy/Marine Corps veteran. A few years ago I graduated from San Diego State with a bachelor degree in Criminal Justice and also got my master's degree in Homeland Security. The past few years I have been working in public service, which I do enjoy, however I have realized that it is not the way I am going to achieve my financial goals.
I very much look forward to connecting with the members of BP and immersing myself into the world of REI. I am excited for what the future brings.
