Welcome Brandon, I think indeed your moving the right direction with bigger pockets. I'm also new to the forums but have already learned a ton. Make sure you look at the blog and listen to the podcast. Getting a solid educated foundation is the first step. Let me know if I can be of any assistance, thanks Brandon Hayes

Thanks everyone for all the great support! I will certainly be spending a lot of time in the forum and educating myself as I move forward. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, I'd really like to help educate other young investors as I gain more experience in the real estate field.

Hi Jill, glad to see more people from Florida! Rental property remains my long term goal as well. Im on the site to build local connections and experience. Do you buy and rehab rentals or buy in good shape? I'll be happy to assist in any questions you may have to the best of my ability. Good luck in your investing! Jill Atwell

Hi Tenyee! I'm in the Titusville area about 40 minutes east of Orlando. I'm also new to the forums, I've found great use of the BiggerPockets podcast and books. Another key piece is to put time and effort towards networking. Do you know which direction within real estate you want to go? Good luck with your investing

Hi Michelle, interesting post! I agree with your thoughts near the I-4 corridor. I'm also new to the forums and the real estate community. I live over by Cape Canaveral, about 1.5-2 hours from Lakeland but have been looking in the area because it's on the rise. I've also seen a shortage in updated low to medium income properties where I'm located.

Hi Nicholas! I enjoyed reading your introduction and can relate to much of it. Are you planning to work mainly with listings or buyers? I'm a flight instructor near cape canaveral FL, with a newly found interest in real estate. I'm looking to pursue my real estate agent license as a start in January. I'm currently spending majority of my time in podcasts, and reading, but realized quickly that communication and networking is a key piece of the successful investor. What's your long term goal? Do you plan on going full time real estate agent/house flipper or continue in aviation while using real estate as passive income? I encourage you to listen to the podcast in addition to reading! Thanks

Hi everyone in the BiggerPockets forums. Apologies for a rather long, but hopefully informative post.

As for many in here, this is my first forum post but far from the last one! I discovered BiggerPockets a couple weeks back while researching the topics of real estate investing, I found a couple interesting posts but didn't think more of it at first. However, I recently found the BiggerPockets Podcast produced by Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner. After a couple episodes I realized that these guys are really trying hard for you to become a better person and make your future brighter. I want to thank, and I appreciate all the effort that they as well as many others put in to make this the greatest and most efficient real estate community on the web today. 

A short bio of myself, I'm from Sweden originally, arrived in the US 2012. I'm currently a flight instructor for domestic and international students seeking a career as a professional helicopter pilot. I'm a firm believer that there is no short cuts in life. I've always strived to work hard and perform the very best I can at whatever I get in to. Me and my wife purchased our first investment recently, this being a cosmetic fixer upper single family home.

Building knowledge and connections remains first priority. My employment income has recently started to build capital for future investment.

I will be seeking flip home projects to build greater capital for further funding of our passive strategy.

Me and my wife has decided on a passive strategy that will consist of buy and hold rentals. Multi family properties hold the greatest interest for us as of right now, based on my knowledge level. The numbers for these properties seem to make the greatest sense in our area.

The better network we build, the greater we can all grow, and this will be very appreciated.

Thank you for reading my introduction. /Max
