Welcome to BP, @Alex Boseman!  Make sure to check out podcasts, sign up for webinars, and read the blogs.

Welcome to BP, @Colton Scott! In my experience, the best way to get a mentor is by starting a project and then coming up with a specific set of questions/ideas that you can ask for help with. For example, you mentioned that you have a few ideas, you can start by putting together a plan and ask for help reviewing that plan. Or you can start executing it and asking for specific help/guidance with the first deal. This will show everyone that you mean business and you will be much more likely to find good mentors.

Good luck!

Welcome to BP! 

@Brandon Turner, It's odd that I'm the only one. The course was good with a lot of people providing great reviews. Maybe they are just lurking in the shadows

@Tony Hardy, thanks!

@Ryan Landis, thanks! BP podcasts, blog posts, and forums is where I spent most of my time recently. I'm getting a mild case of sleep deprivation!

Hi everyone,

A few months ago I took an online course on Udemy about real estate investing. In this course some guy named @Brandon Turner spent hours and hours talking about biggerpockets.com.  I liked the rest of his course and thought I'd check out the site. Boy, do I feel stupid now for paying for that course since everything he talked about (and then some) is here for free! I think Brandon owes me a refund.

Some basic facts about me. I live in San Francisco. I love to travel and have traveled extensively around the world - I've been to four continents and countless countries, I've climbed waterfalls (yes, that means going up against the water), kayaked with whales, and successfully avoided a police search party in Colombia (what happens in Colombia, stays in Colombia). 

As you can imagine, all of that comes with bills. So I'm working on a 10-year plan to get to $432k in passive annual income from buy and hold properties to support my travels. Why $432k? I like that number. The plan isn't quite there yet, but I'm working on it. If you have any suggestions or want to help me with my plan or have awesome deals that can get me there, hit me up!

Oh, and I love chocolate!

Can you send over additional details and any pics you have? Also, is there a property manager for this you can recommend?
