New to BiggerPockets - Tampa FL
Happy Friday all! I am Larry and currently live in Tampa FL (actually Brandon) and I am new to RE. My experience is limited to reading and attending seminars, its time to invest in my first property. I was introduced to this forum by a couple I met at a seminar I attended about a month ago. Looking forward to communicating with everyone and learning. My professional background is retired military and currently a Federal employee with the Air Force as a Human Resources Supervisor.

Hi Larry,
Nice to meet you and welcome to the BiggerPockets community. I think you will find it very welcoming and helpful here. There are a lot of resources on the site and plenty of people to connect and discuss your investment goals with. I would love to assist you in coming up with an investment strategy and guide you on the road to acquiring your first deal. I have sent you a direct message as well. I look forward to connecting with you.
Cheers,
