Count me in.

Thanks Ned, I will look into setting up my keyword alerts.

Hey Guys,

My name is Justin and I've actually been a member on here for a few years. I initially got interested right out of college, when I didn't have much capital, didnt have a stable job and was living with my parents.

I'm now living in Jacksonville, Fl with some saved capital and a bit more maturity, and I'm ready to jump into the REI industry. My long-term goals are buy, hold, rent. I'm also interested in making capital from some of the other REI strategies as well, in the short-term.

Looking to network with new investors in the area. Nothing against experienced investors, but I understand that most aren't as willing to help or are as enthusiatic as us new investors.

So if you're in the Jacksonville area, please shoot me a message. Let's help each other reach our goals and not just use this site as a social network, but an accountability network.

That's great Joshua! I'm a novice that's recently started residing in the Jacksonville area too (for about a year), maybe we can learn and work with each other to expedite our goals. Shoot me a message brother.

I've been hearing a lot of beginners say that they are looking for a mentor, and I've also been hearing a lot of experienced investors say that a mentor is the best way to go.

But I was wondering, how many of you all started out in real estate on your own? Being it by reading books, attending seminars, or just looking through real estate forums and message boards.

If you are self taught, would you consider yourself successful? Was it a tough road? Would you tell others not to take your route and find a mentor?

Lol, I was just trying to give him his props. Ya know? But thanks for the welcomes. I appreciate it.

Hello,

I'm brand new to real estate investing but have always had a desire to be apart of this magnificent culture. I'm a former college football player and recent graduate.

As of right now, I want to start off wholesaling, but I'm interested in all aspects of the investing profession.

This site is such a breathe of fresh air. Mr. Dorkin...you're a genius.
