New ambitious investor from sunny Florida!

Hello,

My name is Aaron and I'm a self-motivated, 31 year old, who resides in Apopka, Florida. Much like the majority of others, I was stuck in the perpetual cycle of "living paycheck to paycheck." After reading a variety of books on how to invest from well-respected authors, I finally grasped what front leaders, such as Gary Keller, Warren Buffett, and of course Robert Kiyosaki were trying to tell me. My eyes lit up with enthusiasm and opportunity! The more I read, the more I began to understand that this investing thing is not something a select few were privileged to, rather, investing was something we should all partake in, if not for ourselves, but for future generations to come.

I have always achieved my goals through my desire to better myself. I truly feel that we must never stop learning, because "If we stop learning, we stop living." As the front leaders have ingrained their knowledge into me, I have started to understand that the goals I imagine are realistic. I desire and welcome the challenges of all of the real estate areas, such as, wholesale, flipping, and buy & hold, to name a few. I am most excited to meet like-minded people and to grow within part of a community that shares the same passions that I do!

Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me, as I truly enjoy getting to know other entrepreneurs like myself. I know deep down that we are people with passion, and we strive to be more than someone who lives paycheck to paycheck. Growing relationships is one of the best investments we can ever make, so don't be a stranger!

    Hello and welcome. I have only been on BP for less than a week but have already learned a lot more. If you haven't already I would suggest looking into Dave Lindahl. He has some really good information on multi family strategies. I know Robert Kiyosaki, Warren Buffett and of course The Donald. Curtis Oakes has some pretty good stuff too. What others have you found to be most valuable? I would love some insight from you and any other BP members to other individuals with some good educational material. I'm always looking to pull from as many experienced sources as possible.

    Hey Kyle, thanks for your welcome!

    I am a huge fan of Simon Sinek and while his books are not real estate based they will give you insight on management and your own personal growth "start with why" and "why leaders eat last" had huge impacts on my personal and professional life! I highly suggest giving those a try!

    Kyle, in spite of all the knowledge you gain, remember real success comes from the backbone and not the wishbone so the real learning occurs when you make the offer

     I agree. I have learned about as much theory as I can. Its time for me to start making some offers and close a deal or two.
