Swanny’s Message to BP Nation - Thanks For the Memories!!

Hi all at BP Nation!!

I wish everyone a Happy New Year!! I always look at the good on BP that all of us appreciate.   We love talking up and motivating others to succeed in becoming financially free through Real Estate.

For the most part I believe 90-95% of the people here on BP are yearning to learn from more experienced and successful investors that already have gone down that road they want to travel.

Me personally I cherish these memories of getting help and helping others since I was a guest with Brandon and Scott Trench as the hosts on Podcast 238 back in Aug of 2017.  It even goes back further than that on my forum posts etc… on that podcast I told of my experiences as a lowly paid parochial school teacher and how I was on my way to becoming financially free.

Also, Brandon and Josh included me in Ch 1 pages 25-26 of their book How to invest in RE the Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Getting Started in 2018 too. BP also featured me on the front cover of their wealth magazine with a feature article inside about a year ago in the fall of 2020.

I love this stuff and have advised for free, sooooooooo many people by phone meetings etc…. to figure out what is best for them and what I would do it I were in their shoes. By the way I have spent over an hour average with each person on the phone  for years now!!

You may ask why? It is pretty simple. I have been a teacher and coach my entire adult life and just retired from my teaching job this past June of ‘21 and am financially free!! Just because I stopped teaching at my day job does not mean I stop teaching and coaching!!

I believe deeply that the more people in my lifetime that I teach and coach etc… is my  real legacy that I leave long after I die!!  That is how you live on forever as people pass on what you have taught them to others etc…. A little piece of me lives on in others!!

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change right before your eyes!!! It sure has for me.

How about for you for 2022?
