I just wanted to say thank you to the Bigger Pockets community for their support and dedication to real estate investing. I discovered the title "real estate investor" about a year and a half ago. I immediately started reading, listening to BP podcasts, and networking with others of similar interests about the topic. Fast forward to now and I have successfully closed on my first property! This is the beginning of my journey and I intend to keep the BP community with me every step of the way. For those who are seeking their first property, stay focused, keep educating yourself on the topic, and before you know it you will be closing on a property.

    @Ricky Reese Congratulations! Keep us all posted. Can I ask if your strategy was cash flow or appreciation? I am awaiting a response on an offer for what would be my second property. Again, congrats!

    Thanks everybody for the congrats. @Michael A. my strategy was for cash flow. For my first few properties I will be focusing primarily on that. Good luck with the second property.
