I joined BP at the end of 2016 around when I first began my REI pursuit, as of recently i've began to refocus on my Real estate goals and i'm more motivated than ever to jump back in and get some deals under my belt.

It's great hearing from folks who've actually strapped on a tool belt and jumped in the trenches.

Welcome Jahan,I am also located in Boston and have a couple projects under my belt.

For a belts and suspenders approach... 

Thanks @Bernard Reisz, @George Blower and @Dmitriy Fomichenko!

Thanks @George Blower

I have no hard data to back this claim up besides personal experience and I don't intent to paint with too broad of a brush, but the sheer amount of people I run into here on BP and in my local area that are thinking of 'starting a fund' or 'syndicating this deal' with less than five deals under their belt and not finance background blows my mind. 

There are some areas in mid to cold belt states with limited growth where once a big box goes out it could sit for years and years.

Hello, my name is Clay and I am currently an active duty Marine with 14 years of service under my belt.
