Personal stuff - I love spending as much time as possible with my 5 yr old daughter and the rest of my family, I love fitness (generally work out at least 5x a week), and I've recently developed (better late than never) a passion for real estate investing as a means of 'getting out of the rat race' as well as acquiring knowledge in general in order to better myself and share that knowledge to help others.I haven't uploaded my Pro video yet, but I plan to as soon as I get a moment so my BP peers can get a better feel (beyond the photo) for who I am. 

Just thought I would share my before/after videos of a duplex I bought in St.

Through the forums, videos and education tools on the site I have been able to determine what the expenses are.

Bigger pockets, forums, books, podcasts, and videos.

Enough reading and educating myself through books and videos.

@Gabby Rich hey start off with the beginner guides,read,and watch a lot of videos about real estate investing 

hello everyoneI am chad and I am looking to learn about real estate investing i have been watching the bigger pockets videos on u tube lately and decided to join the group I am hoping to learn and research some more before i jump i and buy my first rental property. 

I found biggerpockets through youtube after binge watching and listening to about 100+ podcast and the videos of the Podcast.

When I was 13 I started my own landscaping company in NJ (Divine Landscaping) and just recently started a video production company (Non Stop Productions).Through the 4 years I have been in Raleigh, NC I have seen an enormous change in real estate and I am tired of sitting back and watching other investors get rich quick. 

My only concern was with stuff left in the unit but already took pictures and I have video from previous days when I entered unit for maintenance.
