New member in New Orleans, Louisiana

[Braden Smith]

Hi Everyone! I am a new member in the Greater New Orleans Area and excited to be a part of Bigger Pockets! I have used many REI websites and Bigger Pockets is definitely the best available in my opinion. TONS of great info that is very valuable, and best of all... it's FREE! Great job! And I love the podcasts also! Excellent work!!

I have studied real estate and investing for many years, but I was never able to fit it into my life and schedule until now, nor do I think was where I needed to be in my head. That's ok though because I know I was not mentally ready until now. I am set and ready to go now and have the right mindset to make this work long term, and I will do so!

My business partner and I have an REI company called REvitalize Property Solutions LLC. We are starting off in the wholesaling arena in order to build capital and then plan to move into rehabbing, buy and hold, and more. The idea and plan is build a scalable business based on tried and true methods, with systems that will allow for plug and play into other markets as we grow, as well as make it easy to teach others what we do and how we do so that long term we no longer have to work in the business. The ultimate goal is passive income in order to life life on our terms, as my avatar shows.

We look forward to making many connections through BP and hope to hook up with anyone on BP that is located in the Greater New Orleans Area. We are active members of NOREIA so if anyone else is also, lets meet each other at the next meeting!

Thanks!
