You get all the benefits - cash flow, appreciation, tax advantages - without all the headaches.Anyway just my two cents, wish someone had introduced me to this format of investing alongside a group of other investors when I was first starting out. 

I own a small cleaning company that specializes in specific services that prepares properties to rent or to sell, which is how I was introduced to teal estate. 

Local real estate investor meetups are a great place to introduce yourself, meet people in your market that you'll inevitably do business with, build a good team, and learn from guest speakers as well as the other meetup-goers.Bonus advice: get started!

I am embarrassed to admit that I have been lurking on BP for years but am just now introducing myself. 

i have been introduced to Partner Driven through a friend who got a marketing piece, reached out to them, applied online, wathed their videos and setup a call.

Too early to say whether the licensing and legislation/reform that's slowly being introduced across the country will clean up the perception but currently this is how many in the industry (particularly the ones you want to build relationships with) view the RE wholesale industry. 

Hello everyone,Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Bernardo Cunha.

Hi Katelyn, it's good that you have taken the first step and introduced your self on BP!

Or is a simple email introducing myself suffice?

great discussion.prediction for bp: joshua will select, or, bp members will vote to have one bp online mentor monitor specific forums, and then that mentor will share his/her expert opinion, which will bring topics to a knowledgeable finish.i say this because often enough a topic will be introduced, and someone will respond with what seems to be good, sound advice/insight.
