Good morning Bigger Pockets professionals! I'm new to the group and a relative rookie in REI. I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself and connect with as many other professionals as possible for mutual benefit! I'm currently working full time and looking to begin REI again on the side. My goal is to begin investing in multi-family properties and grow my business and cash flow to the point where I can leave "corporate America" in the next 10 years and do REI full time. I've been in the business world for many years with sales, marketing, training and business operations experience and I believe I can make my goals come true while helping others achieve theirs! I look forward to connecting with you soon and contributing whatever knowledge and experience I can! Thanks everyone!

    Welcome to BP @Kent Brunen !

    There are many resources and great discussions here. A good place to start is the "Learn" tab at the top of the page. The free how to guides are great and the BP Blog always has some great articles.

    Good Luck!

    Welcome Kent. This is an amazing source of information and if you get involved you in some conversations or start some of value you will network with some extremely intelligent people. 

    If you haven't already, look into CARREIA which is central Arkansas Real Estate Investment Association. It is also a great tool to network and help find you those deals to help you escape that corporate America gig.

    Best of luck! Cheers.
