Hi,
My name is Tom Crowley. I'm a 23 year old professional poker player that is trying to learn the real estate game. Poker has been great to me thus far but its a volatile game and not really something I want to be doing full time as I grow older and potentially have a family. So i'm looking to supplement this income with some more stable (relatively) passive income. My goal is to have enough passive income from real estate to fully support myself by my 29th birthday. This may seem like a lofty goal but I feel that poker has given me lots of advantages over the average 23 year old newbie trying to get into real estate. From some start-up capital, to a strong risk tolerance, as well as an ability to effectively analyze number.

I've been reading these forums for a while, along with anything else I can get my hands on to learn as much as possible about investing in real estate. BP has been a great resource for me. I really appreciate how many highly successful people are willing to share their knowledge with us rookies. I currently have my second cash flow property under contract and am set to close in the next couple weeks. I look forward to learning from the best and hope to someday pass on the knowledge that I pick up over the years.
