Thanks for this forum, Mindy! 

I'm retired Navy and know a lot about VA benefits, so hit me up if you have any questions.

Thanks much Paul! Not sure why my photo is upside down on my phone?! Anyway, I've got Brandon's book and about half through it now. Also reading Millionaire Real Estate Investor, which is awesome! I do appreciate all the nuggets of wisdom and will definitely hit u up when I get stumped along the way if it's okay!?

Cheers!

Ric

Hello @Ric Santos and welcome to Bigger Pockets. At BP, you can connect with other investors while getting the information you need on REI. BP offers free online videos and educational courses, and also has it's own podcast in itunes. You came to the right place and I wish you all the best.

 Thank you Jill - I'm definitely a fan o the BP website. There's so much to take in!

Greetings! I'm just starting out in the world of Real Estate and have been listening to the podcasts pretty much non-stop since I found out about BP. They're all great! Also reading a lot of the books mentioned, and even signed up for a PRO membership after Brandon's last webinar. I knew going back to further my college education wasn't going to get me where I want at my age, and after all I think I've learned from the books and podcasts it's time to take action. I'd like to say I'm leaning toward the flipping or rental property areas, but who knows?! I don't give up easily, and I am serious enough about Real Estate to understand it's not a get-rich-quick deal. 

I'm retired navy and have been working in an office for the govt the past 10 years, which I can't see myself doing much longer - life is too short! So, I'm in a stable position as far as income, and not going to make rash decisions out of the gate. On a personal note, I'm big into golf and being outdoors as much as possible - although that's hard to do this time of year in SA! I look forward to networking online and face to face soon.

Cheers!
