Bp is where you should be INVOLVED. It leads to good opportunities to increase your real estate knowledge, build relationships ,share your info on areas you invest in, etc. Here are a couple examples.

1. I have a new person that has moved to my area. Over lunch today, we'll meet, chat and determine if we have some common interests and strategies. It is like Christmas morning. You want to know what is in the box. Anticipation. The unknown. That is the way theses meetings are. R M and I will eyeball each other. This would never have happened without BP.

2. Another person from BP is here in FL visiting for a week. R B and I will get together on sunday and compare ideas, notes, etc. This also would've never happened without BP. All the same questions and thoughts exist as with R M above.

3. I have several new potential users of my transactional lending opportunities from interacting here on BP. I'd have never gotten into a partnership with Will Barnard, of Nationwide to help loan these funds out without BP.

If you are not posting and sharing on BP, you're missing the boat and a little stupid,imo. This site offers excellent opportunities for anyone willing to put the time and effort into this. Keep your nose clean, don't screw anyone and DISCLOSE everything. You'll be successful if you want to be.

Please share your benefits obtained from being on here at BP. It may be just the encouragement some posters need to get more involved. Get out of your shell. Most of us are pretty helpful and decent people. Good luck with building your BP relationships. Rich

Awesome post, Rich! Thank you.

@Matt - When you do connect with these "outsiders," be sure to wrangle them back to BP!

    I agree Rich! I am a newbie investor but I have just started to form relationships OUTSIDE of BP. All the books I have read have either been recommended by people on BP or written themselves by members of BP.

    My mentor I found on BP and from what I know most parts or the short sale process are here on BP.

    So really I have to credit everything I've done so far to BP. I have been able to kind of set the groundwork to my business and learn a TON without leaving this website here. Unfortunately its time to branch out and meet people not on BP that are in the area, its just too easy on this site!

    Rich,

    I couldn't agree, more.

    I have met Will and his partner, Michael, a couple times at investor meetings. Though I've yet to meet them, Nick and Justin S have been very helpful in the short sale arena.

    There is a ton of opportunity found on this sight, available to anyone who chooses to get busy and hustle.

    Anthony, imo, you've found some of the best BP has to offer. You're in good hands. Rich in FL.

    Follow up on my original thread post. I've gotten together with 2 gentlemen the last couple days from BP involvement. Really fun- one is fairly new at this, well educated, new to the area and I'd consider trying to hire him if I go with an asst. The other is very experienced and we may do something together in the future.

    Again, get involved with BP and fun things happen. Rich in fl today, cancun manana,
