New Member in Central Florida!
Hi Fellow BPers!
I'm relatively new to the Central Florida area (in rural Polk County). Previously resided in KC MO and decided to move back to the Southeast to be closer to friends and family.
I just bought my first home as an owner/occupant in Lake Alfred, FL. I make the commute to Downtown Orlando to work as a Digital Project Manager (not a great commute - Disney traffic AND Downtown traffic).
I'm extremely interested in diving headlong into REI as I've blasted through about 8 books on different types and approaches to REI. I'm still working to drill down my niche (and strategy) to see what will work for my situation and goals. Presently, I'm leaning towards wholesaling as I do have some resources readily available that (will) make this option more viable.
I think BP will be a godsend of me as I'm an information junkie and I'm going to love bouncing ideas off members. I'm excited to get more actionable info (and actually acting). Admittedly, I'm working through paralysis analysis.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to interacting.

Welcome to BP Troy Johnston
You sound like how I felt when I first found BP. The feeling never goes away, at least not for me! The real godsend though, is all the people on the site that contribute everything they can without expecting anything in return. The culture here on BP is truly one of a kind. Thanks Joshua Dorkin :)
Troy if you keep blasting through books, utilize/contribute to the forums, set goals, and just keep putting one foot in front of the other (persistence), I don't see anything that can stop you from being successful!
Cya around the forums.
