Hi All!

I just joined BP and am very excited to get going. I just bought my first foreclosure in Nov 2014 and am learning all the wrong ways to do this (really!)! But it is fun and I hope to be able to replace my FT job with REI in the future. I'm looking forward to meeting other members on here and learning a lot more than I do.

Hugs,

Gina Shields

Hi Gina, I'm pretty new too and the best thing I've done for myself is going to the meetings. Hands down one of the best decisions I've made. There is one called Tampa REIA and one Suncoast REIA and also a round table meeting at local IHOP...this one is the best IMO. They give everyone the chance to stand up and ask a q, talk about a deal or an issue they might be having. You'll be in a room full of long time investors and new. Let me know if you'd like to go and we can meet up. The REIA's you can find their websites.
