The Triad area in NC is an exciting market, and it’s fantastic that you’re embracing long-distance investing—especially after listening to the BP podcasts for inspiration.

I'm a newbie to the BP community but a long-time listener of the BP Podcast.

I’ve also challenged them to listen to BP podcast as well, and explained that it’s up to them to educate themselves and fuel their minds - but I also know where my thought process was like at 20yrs of age.

You will definitely learn a lot here - reading books and listening to podcasts, attending local meetups and conferences are all great ways to learn, gain advice, share thoughts and network!
