Welcome to the BP community, where you will find like minded individuals committed to REI and also helping others succeed.

You expressed an interest in multiple niches and as such I added some links of interest below.

Your time on this social media site will be well spent.

You have taken the 1st step by announcing your readiness and commitment to embark on a REI career.

Whether you pursue, wholesale, rehab & fIip or buy and hold it's up to you to decide.

The bottom line is that you must take action to start.

Don't get bogged down with analysis paralysis. You must take risks, but, ensure that they are calculated risks.

Below are some links to get you started.

Before making your 1st REI purchase please visit the link below for some useful tips

https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/12/19/real-estate-investing-success-smart-tips/

Simply, bone up on the areas that you need to expand knowledge in such as, Forums, Marketplace, Learn, Network, Analyze and Resources.

Feast on the Podcasts, #askbp Podcasts, blogs and webinars

Lastly, this site thrives on interactions and as such we encourage two way exchanges and look forward to educational and thought provoking ideas relevant to REI.

 Thank you for the great advise!!!

Hey guys, my name is Jeff McMahan and I am currently a Project Manager for a Healthcare Contractor based out of Louisville, Kentucky. Like most of you, I am sick and tired of the corporate rat race and I am determined to get out of the race! My goal is to be a full time RE investor by 2017 (or sooner!). I am interested in wholesaling, flipping, and buy/hold real estate (single or multi-family). Currently I am seeking properties in the Louisville/Lexington market. I look forward to connecting with the BP community.
