After a few years searching and studying rental properties I'm finally getting serious about taking the plunge on my first SF here in central Illinois.Looking to network with both experienced investors and those in the same boat as me.

Quite the "lurker" type at first, similar to the way I use Facebook..heh heh, After listening to a few pod casts and browsing through the forums I finally worked up the nerve to pull the trigger on my first rehab & hold property, thank you everyone at Bigger Pockets for the giving the confidence to take the plunge! 

I have always kicked around the idea of flipping houses and now is the time to take the plunge.

I have been soaking up as much information as I possibly can and look forward to taking the plunge on my first deal.  

I also took the plunge and signed up for a pro account - mainly to leverage the calculators.I look forward to interacting with everyone here!

Hey BP,My name is Kerry and I am from Southern CT,  I've been side stepping around real estate for the past year or so I decided to take the plunge and put up my first post after listening to the podcasts and reading multiple books.

Hey BP, I have been interested in investing in real estate for a few years now, but have never taken the plunge.

Start attending your local REIA meetings, connect with local investors and educate yourself (BP and otherwise) before taking the plunge.

I'm happy to finally take the plunge and become a member.

Hey NewBCongrats on taking the plung.
