Getting things done is all about tactics, connections, trust, experience, knowledge and knowing the battlefield while having the ability to win if there is a battle ......what's that worth?

So much knowledge and sharing.

I am super excited to be back in the game with more knowledge than ever, a thirst to learn and eagerness to meet fellow BP members and investors.PS - I tell everyone I speak to about Bigger Pockets.com - love this place!

I'm not as familiar with the city as many are on here, I've always used other people's knowledge, but you can get a lot of help on these forums as far as best neighborhoods, etc.
