@Aaron Howell That sounds great! Unfortunately, I'm working for the beginning of that. Is it fine to show up late?

@George Blower @Dmitriy Fomichenko @Adrian Stamer Thank you for the welcome! I was just about to ask how to tag someone. I tried it in an earlier reply, but I think you can see how that worked out.

Post: Digging in the FilePlace Mine

Just getting started and heard about the FilePlace on podcast 229. I figured I'd take a quick look and maybe snag a few checklists and a tool or two to help me start analyzing properties. About 15 minutes later I'm 3 years back in time with 35 (literal) tabs open. Anyone have favorites? On or off the popular downloads page.

@Racheel R. Thanks for the welcome!

@Jesse Harris It is a bit expensive. That's why I'm leaning towards a house hack multifamily. I am an Air Force vet, so a VA loan on one would be a nice way to start. I've begun looking in the Waynesboro area for my early investment opportunities. Do you guys exclusively flip houses?

Hello! My name is Alexander Stromberg. I go by Alex usually. I'm mostly a homegrown Virginian. I currently am an Air Traffic Controller, although I'm hoping to change that through investing, and I'm mid way through a business degree. I learned a few buzz words from a TED talk on youtube, which led me to BP. I've watched quite a few podcasts over that past month and am done lurking in the shadows! 

I'm not quite sure what my exact niche will be yet, though I am working my way through some of the suggested begginners tasks. I'm leaning towards a house hack into a multiplex, followed by more buy and hold rentals. Atleast I was, until I had my mind blown with the potential of buying non-performing mortgages, and just finished podcast 229, which showed me how AirBNB can be more the a small side gimmick. I'd love to hear about more people's experiences to help me finalize my choice of initial area of study. Whichever route I take, I know that I'm planning to build a system to enable the business to be truly passive. As Brandon likes to say, I don't want to buy a life time job.
