Within a short time I am amazed at how much knowledge and information I have amassed on every aspect and facet of investing.

I'm really excited to get to know some of you and learn anything and everything I can about real estate investing from such knowledgable people.

Fellow Biggerpocketers (Yes it's a word..Lol)I've been reading here on Bigger Pockets for the past 2 years and have gained some valuable knowledge along with getting some much needed advice on a couple of investments that I'm sure I had no business even looking at.

Folks out there with knowledge and money aren't going to pass up great deals for very long.

I've seen investors and other wholesalers here so I hope to network with others and maybe find some mentors and future partners on top of the wealth of knowledge that's on the site.So that's my background and goals, if anyone has any suggestions comments or and guidance they can offer me, all will be welcomed.

You can certainly get wealthy but not by working 1 hr a week and watching your accounts fill automatically with money.Real estate takes work especially when you are starting out with little knowledge, no contacts and little idea of what a solid real estate deal really is.Another false image is that you can be buying properties with little to nothing down on a regular basis.
