New to BP- DFW and Tulsa
Hello BP!
Im 30 years old, an aspiring investor, and living in south florida- Fort Lauderdale area. Here, I practice dentistry full time and it’s a career I quite enjoy.
Over the past couple years I have made it a point to use my after-work and weekend time to learning as much as possible to set myself up for a better life and future. Ive taken a lot of time to self education of life/business/leadership/investing/health, etc through reading a wide variety of books, listening to podcasts, and doing anything I can to learn as much as possible. As time went on, I noticed myself spending more time and developing a deeper interest in Real Estate. Then I found BP while browsing the web one day and before I knew it, I was only buying and reading RE related books, listening to BP podcast, and reading BP forums any chance I got. So I have become super passionate about RE and the ultimate goal of financial independence. It’s an amazing feeling!
I don’t have any properties of my own and definitely looking to change that soon. I’m so exciting to network with you all and this community of admirable professionals.
My initial focus is on building a portfolio of sfh buy and hold cashflowing rentals. The markets I have developed in interest in are DFW,TX and Tulsa, OK. I am now trying to network in hopes of building a great team. I hope to connect with many of you through the next days/weeks/years. Thank You for being an awesome community! Wish me luck!

@Alejandro Piedra I'm in a very similar position, only I work in construction sales north of you 30 mins in Stuart, FL and Treasure Coast area.
I have a great network of contractors around Florida and over 10 years in the construction industry. I was looking to be full time investor by Q4 this year but we will see where this Corona Craze is going to take us.
I'm wanting to expand to a new market in the next year. Currently looking at Tampa and Orlando for local projects and would like to educate myself more on Tulsa, Fayetteville and Oklahoma City. I would be open to looking at anything in Texas or Savannah, GA as well.
Let me know if you are interested in throwing around ideas. This will be my first intentional real estate deal when the market calms down. I've been house hacking unintentionally until I came across the BP podcast and group about 3 months ago.
