After scouring the BP forums for months and reading all the helpful tips that people give out, I've finally made an account to interact with the all lovely people here!

@Brent Fosner, I'll keep everyone posted on this deal (I've been an avid BP podcast listener for years and I've gotten more active on the website lately, but this is the first deal I actually added to the site, so the interaction is new to me, but it's been great).

Read and interact as often as possible.Setup your keyword alerts and subscribe to the subforums of interest.If I can ever be of any assistance please feel free to reach out.

I suggest visit your local REI Meetings and interact with local investors and agents (potential cash buyers) network as much as you can that'll make much easier when you have your first contract in hand.

I love the interaction, honesty, and networking that happens here. 

I recently created a contractor plan going over the DOs and Don'ts when interacting with my residents.

I hope to interact with and learn from as many members as possible.

Anyways, hope these things help you. looking forward to interacting with you on the forums.Best of luck to you Janice!
