Wow!

I underestimated how many of the Bigger Pockets community would respond and offer advice. Thank you to all of you who have already commented and all of you who will comment in the future. The willingness to help a beginner from Bigger Pockets is making it even more exciting to get started.

Wishing you all the best for 2023 and beyond,

Ben

Quote from @Chris Piazza:

Hey Ben, 

Congratulations on making the team and maybe I’ll get the opportunity to see you on the field this spring. I am not a realtor but a local home inspector in the SWFL area. Let me know if you have any particular questions related to my field and real estate transactions. One thing we do different is the requirement of insurance inspections for certain homes. Ie wind mitigation and 4 point inspections which you won’t find anywhere else in the country. 

I’m always available for a chat or email if you’re interested and good luck!

Regards,

Chris


Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply. I have read that there are specific requirements for insurance in different markets but I have never heard of wind mitigation or 4-point inspections. 

I'm interested in developing a broad base of knowledge about real estate transactions and I would like to learn more about home and insurance inspections. 

Looking forward to connecting with you,

Ben

Hi Bigger Pockets,

I'm currently a minor league baseball player in the Minnesota Twins organization. I'm new to the world of real estate investing, but I'm interested in learning, developing a network, and getting started on my own investing journey. 

I'm reporting to spring training in Fort Myers, FL next week. I was wondering if there was anyone in that area who needed some help with their real estate operations while I'm there. I'm driven and eager to learn and I'd be happy to send along any additional information needed to get started. 

On a more long-term note - I grew up, went to university, and currently spend my off-seasons in New Jersey. I'm interested in learning more about the real estate market there because that's where I think I'll be long-term.

Thanks for your time and I'm looking forward to hearing from you all!

Ben
