@Sheena Michael Dillon Welcome to the BP site. I myself am a new member and have already learned many incredible things from this site.

@William T. Thank you for the quick response. The learning curve on the verbiage does take quite some time. I have read the beginners guide which was extremely helpful. The podcasts are playing in my car daily as well.

Hello fellow Houston BP'ers,

I am new to the BP site and I am learning everyday when it comes to REI. With the vast amount of avenues in which investments can be made, I am looking at exploring each individual option to find the best fit for my long term financial strategy. With that being said, I was hoping there might be some Wholesalers/Investors in the Houston area that I could volunteer my time and efforts in exchange for a small portion of their time and knowledge. Basically I would like to get more of an hands on approach to how a wholesale deal would be structured from start to finish. Reading books is one thing, actually doing it has to be another.

I travel extensively for work in a territory that covers the greater Houston area which means I have the ability to visit or be on the look out for any types of deals a wholesaler/investor might be looking for. Basically I am looking for a mentor that I can offer my time to add value to your business in exchange for knowledge that could be mutually beneficial now and in the long run.

Thanks,

Brandon

Hello fellow BP'ers,

My name is Brandon and I know the title above says that I'm new to the site but I have actually been registered for a little while and this will be my first official involved post.

Let me first start off with Thanking both Joshua and Brandon for their extremely empowering and knowledge filled Podcasts. I drive fairly long distances for work and most people would cringe at the thought of listening to anything other than music. Me on the other hand, I embrace this time to learn as much about Real Estate Investing as possible and you both do a great job in really explaining the inner workings of this industry.

Without going into long over drawn life stories I would like to introduce myself, what my goals are and hopefully networking with many other REI BP'ers in the Texas area. I am a graduate from The University of North Texas with a minor in Real Estate. I have been completely fascinated by the Real Estate industry for a number of years but, never made the right moves into actually pursuing those ambitions (lets call this REI fear). Over the last year or so I have come to the realization that I am basically spinning my wheels and need to start acting on those ambitions.

Over the course of the next year or so, I would like to have a few REI deals under my belt. I really love the thought of Flipping and/or Buying and Holding properties. My reasons for getting involved are because I would like to be in a position to have financial freedom but mainly because I know this type of work would be something I would greatly enjoy (despite all of the potential negatives to REI).

I can already tell just from the short amount of time spent on this site and listening to the Podcast's that this community is filled with a bunch of like minded individuals as myself. If there are any fellow BP'ers in the Texas (DFW-Houston) areas, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to connect with you. Finding a mentor seems to be a well mentioned avenue for increasing one's REI knowledge and I certainly look forward to building those relationships.

Thank you all and I'll see you in the forums!
