Hi everyone...Just an FYI that I have created this username for the purposes of posting on the forums board.My former username is: thedfwmentorI originally signed onto BiggerPockets on Feb. 23rd, 2006.My former username encountered posting errors that Josh couldn't identify so he asked that I create a new name.I am also now a contributor on the BiggerPockets Blog under Jim Watkins and also known as DFW Mentor.Thanks and I am looking forward to resuming my posting on the forums.
