Brand new to the site....

My name is Greg Mitchell, I work for an oilfield services company in OKC, OK.  I'm new to real estate investing...became an accidental landlord after moving for a job and realized that for my whole life I had been looking at the world all wrong.   

I am absolutely committed to creating the future I want for my family through real estate investing.  

Thanks in advance for all the advice and help!

    @Greg Mithchell

    BP is a treasure chest full of resources. You will find resources here from blogs to pod casts and forums. You can also send messages to members which is my favorite part of the website.

    @Greg Mitchell welcome to BP! I live about 5 hours away but invest in OKC. I love the city and love the real estate market. @Tyler Weinrich is an investor and wholesaler who lives out in Yukon...I'd definitely look him up on Bigger Pockets when you get the chance. Best of luck and let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
