Hi everyone! My name is Mark Takaki. I just wanted to introduce myself as suggested by a number of BP podcasts. I stumbled across the BP website a few weeks ago and have been hooked on its incredible content ever since. I'm fairly new to REI so I'm open to hearing about everything before I decide to focus on a niche. The problem I have is that everything about REI sounds interesting to me. For example, after I went to my first REI meet up a couple weeks ago, I now want to rehab houses because the topic was Flipping 101. Prior to this, my wife and I have done one buy and hold and currently we are private money lenders because our original goal was to create passive income streams.
Anyway, I would like to network both online and in person, so I can learn more from everyone else’s experiences. Half the year I work at night, so I’m available for meet ups in the mornings after our kids go to school and in the afternoons before work.
Mahalo,
Mark T.

@Mark T. I haven't used Memphis invest - I worked with a company called CrestCore. @Douglas Skipworth set me up with a great team, they've been great!
