I have 5 business ideas that involve real estate and giving back to the community, to decrease violence in cities I once lived like Chicago and DC. 

Providing a space that fosters growth and for a greater sense of community within my local REI market.

I thought this would be straight forward but I guess I didn't do my homework.Thank you BP community!

Any insight, advice, or ideas would be greatly appreciated, I love Bigger Pockets and am excited to have joined this community of incredibly resourceful and creative people!!

Hi there, my name is Nathan and a wonderful Irish fellow named Brendan introduced this website to my partner and I.He spoke very highly of this community online and I believe has done very well in his investments.I have one question and perhaps you can guide me.

Shoot, one of them (w/almost 200K student loan debt (undergrad and grad)) was even able to get a down payment assistance grant from a local community lender (She is an attorney for a local government agency).

Hello BiggerPockets community.

And you should jump in, the community is pretty great here.

I actually stumbled onto the podcast before the forums, and am lucky to have found such a great community and resource!

I'm very new to this community, but from what I've seen, read, and experienced everyone is so helpful.
