That is when I found BP, I have listened to all of the podcasts and have been soaking up content in the articles and forums on the website.  

Hopefully the forum can provide just the encouragement I need!

Just because I am not really active on this forum does not make me less real.

The forums, the ability to follow others, and other features would really be beneficial to what I have in mind.

I need help finding umbrella insurance, and I've learned there's no better place to ask my RE questions than on the BP forum!
