Good afternoon all,

Just stumbled onto BiggerPockets' youtube channel and found this community. I'm in my early 30's and about to have my first kid. Needless to say the future and being able to secure more money for my family has become a priority for me. I'm excited to learn and think I've found a great resource in BiggerPockets!

I've been over the beginner's guide and found it very helpful. What do people think of the books offered on here? I'm a bit gun shy because of a failed FBA business. Books self published on websites seem a little sketch to me because of this. 

My other question is are their any other super-introverts on here? How do you deal with the networking aspect of the business? 

Thanks!

Steve

@Steve Lynch Hi and Welcome to BP! this is a fun and exciting business, but it is not a get rich quick prospect. We investors work hard and sometimes long hours on our projects, even if we have delegated a lot of it to professionals. This business is alsmot 100% relationship based. If you are a super introvert you are going to have to work at getting out of any shell you have created for yourself. Baby steps are fine, but if you have difficulty speaking out or making connections it will take a lot more work and time until you blossom. Do not be discouraged though, this is the perfect opportunity for you to grow and there is a lot of help here for you! You've made the first step Congratuilations! By the way, you became an investor the very second you made your mind up to do it. Own it!
