Newbie in Fort Polk, LA

[Omar Diaz]

Hey BP,

My name is Omar Diaz and I am a long time reader of BP. I am originally from Central Florida but currently serving as active duty in Fort Polk, LA. I have a 2 year old son and another baby boy on the way (October 27). I currently have no experience in investing in real estate but have held a real estate license in the past. I'm mainly interested in the BRRRR method for achieving financial freedom and more recently have been reading on house flipping. Not long ago I upgraded to a Pro membership because I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines watching everyone's story unfold before me so I am ready to take action and live a life of intent.

On another note, for those who have served and have been honored with orders to Fort Polk, you know there's not much here. I have been searching for a local REI Association but haven't had any luck. Is there anybody in Louisiana that know of any "unofficial" REI meet ups in the Leesville/Alexandria/Lake Charles area?

I’m thrilled to start my journey and connect with as much people as I can here on BP!
