I've been curious. I'd like to get an idea of how long, on average, it takes BP users to acquire first investment properties from the time they get serious about making it happen. Yes, the time frame is different for everyone, and "serious" looks different for different people. So...you provide the information and I'll provide the outcomes:

1. How long until you closed on your first property.

2. Were you working full time or part time on REI when you acquired your property?

3. My first property came from ________ (MLS, Driving for Dollars, Yellow letters/postcards, another wholesaler found it for me, other)

4. My first property was located __________ (near my home, out of state, abroad, other)

5. I have been involved in REI for ________ months/years and I now have closed on roughly __________ properties.

6. I currently work at REI ______________ (full time or part time)
