Hey guys/gals, I'm Brandon Fixico from Okmulgee, OK. 

I'm a complete newbie in real estate investing, still trying to get to that first deal.

My reasons for wanting to crush it in real estate is that I want to be able to give my wife and children the lifestyle we've all dreamed of, and make retirement a real possibility.

My reasons for not having jumped in already is that I know my tendency to go straight for the elite level, not taking the time to build the infrastructure to support that level of success. 

My wife is well aware of this shortcoming of mine, seeing as how I've gotten us into trouble a few times before. She's the perfect balance to my ADHD, all or nothing side. So I refuse to dive in until I have the systems lined out in a scale-able fashion, so I won't run myself and my wife into the ground as I have before.

I'm the overly creative half, and she's the one who crushes it with systems in place.

I've studied and understand most strategies, terminology, and how they work together as much as I can without getting in there and playing with them myself.

We're almost to that launch point, and I'm getting excited...
