[Shane Grimes]

Hi everyone,

My name is Shane Grimes. Born and raised in Central Florida and currently reside in Zephyrhills. I've been an employee for 20+ years now and it's become a path that I don't want to follow any longer. I have had experience rehabbing and managing 1 property that I inherited but have never been an active investor. Like many, I've had an interest in real estate and studied courses for years but never took the action necessary to start a new career in investing. So, I came to BP to further educate myself and meet investors of all experience levels and more importantly, to get moving toward becoming an investor.

My long term goals are to eventually replace earned income with passive income from long term rental property and to teach others to do the same.

In the short term, gaining thorough knowledge of correct wholesaling techniques is a priority.****So much so that I'm willing to pass along all wholesale profit potential on deals I find and lock up to an experienced wholesaler/investor in exchange for proper wholesaling instruction.****

I've been monitoring BP for a few months now and it's very encouraging to see so many people exchanging experiences, ideas, and encouragement with one another. Great people. Great website.

Best of luck to all.
