I really appreciate you putting this together @Brian Bandas . Met great like-minded people last week! Definitely looking forward to the next one. 

Welcome to BP! I am also from the Nashville area and will be an official R.E. agent starting in January. Looking to invest in buy & hold properties as soon as I startup as an affiliate broker. Good luck in all your future plans!

Great story Filipe! Sounds like you have found yourself a new career other than a 9-5 job! I always find myself very inspired and motivated to read stories like these. Makes me want to keep looking harder here in the Nashville area for good deals as those are very very hard to come by in this growing area. 

Best of all to you Filipe!

Hello BP members, my name is Christian. I am 23 years of age and currently working on getting my Real Estate license. I am about one step away from getting it. Let's hope everything goes well!

I have been reading and listening to BP podcasts as much as I can to learn more about real estate investing. I am currently seeking to find my first investment property, a duplex to be exact, in the Nashville area. 

I'm interested in finding mentors, lenders, and real estate investing contacts in the area, to enhance my networking. Also looking for any advice and tips to get me started. 

Please & thank you BP members!

Thank you very much! I'll make sure I get on that ASAP and do some research on good companies and local people. Thanks again! 

Hello, my name is Christian and I am 23 years of age. I've been reading and listening to many podcasts about how to start investing in real estate and have decided to start looking to purchase a duplex and use this as my first rental home. My idea was to find the best deal and get accepted on an FHA loan to put 3.5% on a down payment and rent the other unit to hopefully, live for free or live for cheap. For now, I have a part time job working about 25-30 hours a week and get paid pretty good. I am still living with my parents but hopefully soon will be purchasing a rental home. I currently live in the Nashville area and as many of you know, Nashville is booming right now! I wanted to reach to all of you wonderful bigger pocket members for any advice and first time experiences you all have overcome. Would love to hear anything that could push me towards moving in this direction a lot faster than what I expect.

Thank you BP members!
