Lots going on for this newbie!!
Hi All,
After getting a response from one of the BP founding fathers in a colleague request that I sent, I was nudged (encouraged) to post my recent success story. So after years of analysis paralysis (yes years), I finally jumped in about 6 weeks ago and purchased my first buy/hold property (out of state no less, who knew?). I have since been a guest on a pretty popular real estate podcast to talk about my first deal (very cool) and have since signed a PA to purchase my 2nd buy/hold, which closes next week. All of this has happened less than 2 months ago!
I just want any newbies out there to know that I am a newbie too and your "action" trumps all the info that you can possibly try to digest ahead of time. I am learning way more than I could being in the process vs. trying to avoid making mistakes. Jump in! You WILL figure it out as you go. I promise you, but you must be committed.
I am not a veteran RE Investor by an stretch, but if anyone ever wants to inbox me to chat it up or just network... please feel free! Happy to help anyone that I can and continue to grow and learn myself.
If I can do it... trust me, you all can too.
Wish you all the best...
Keith
