Finally Getting Active
Hello all,
My name is Ryan and I've been a member on BP for over a year now however didn't start posting until recently. Prior to joining BP I was learning and reading on my own when I stumbled across the site and found all of the information to be incredibly useful. I decided this year I want to be more of an active participant in an effort to spur myself to action. The more I've read about RE investing the more methods I've learned are available to begin investing, however to this point I've never managed to get past the analysis phase. I have always had a strong interest in RE and wanted to flip a house for years but grew up believing the only way to buy a house is with a conventional loan.
I currently work full time as a Financial Analyst & Accountant for a RE Developer/General Contractor based out of Columbus. It's safe to say I love numbers and the analysis necessary to find a great deal. I've learned a quite a bit about RE both on my own time and professionally, now I'm taking action and plan to begin generating wealth for myself.
