Hello, I'm a new aspiring investor in the Kansas City area

[D'Wayne Hopkins]

My name is D'Wayne Hopkins. I started listening to the BP podcast roughly 3 months ago. Like I mentioned in the title I live in the KC metro area. I'm currently an electrician apprentice, pizza delivery driver, and competitive gamer.

I first heard of real estate investing back when I worked for Social Security. One of my coworkers did it. I was fascinated when he told me that he didn't need the job at all and was just up here to scout out property and he had 5 figures just sitting in the bank. I got super hyped up talking about it and then...I let it sit on the back burner for 2 years. Frustrated with myself after completing a job and having to sit to wait on another one while taking extra delivery shifts I decided I wasn't gonna let this be a pie in the sky dream anymore and committed to start learning. That's when I stumbled upon BP podcasts and Millennial Real Estate Investors. I listen to the archives while delivering pizzas and driving to my various job sites.

I have a lot of preparing to do before I feel I'm ready to buy but I'm still looking at deals atm. I saw my first potential deal on the MLS but since I'm not in a position to buy yet, I decided to pass it on to my cousin who said he'd help me get started. Once I've got my credit built up to a decent level I'm hopping in the fray. I hope for the best in the future alongside all of you.
