Starting my journey to add a new "vein" of diversity to my current investment practices. I'm a bit green by most standards apart from the purchases and sales of my homes over the years. As a mid-career executive in the corporate world you can miss the "rush" you enjoyed during the climb and while I won't ever leave......I need a new "passion" and I've long harbored an interest in real estate investment. In my early 40's and ready to soak up the plethora of information I have already found on this site. More importantly, I'm looking to develop a close network of friends and business associates with whom the journey can be personally and professionally rewarding. Individual investing is great...but the best rewards I have ever obtained were through teamwork.

Skinned knees don't bother me. Sitting on the sidelines does!! ;)
Welcome to the game and the BP Community. Do you have an specific investment goals in mind yet or are you in the learning phase to see what you want to do?
There is a burgeoning meetup/investors group forming in Hot Springs. The locals will chime in shortly I'm sure. I often attend their meetups but was out of town this weekend. Also consider joining us in Little Rock at the investors group up here. Our website is www.carreia.com
Feel free to contact me any time. I'm in the corporate world as well and have some personal experience on adding a new "vein" of diversity and I love to talk shop.

(Kathie) I am interested in the Little Rock group as well as continuing participation in the Hot Springs Meetup. I have signed up for the February CAREA meet up in little rock and we can certainly carpool. Call me when the date nears and we can coordinate. I'll drive. I can fit at least four more in the "dually" if anyone else is interested in ridding up with us.
(Paul) Right now I'm in the education phase but expect moving into 2017 I am going to make some investment decisions based on those educations. My early interests are B & C grade single family dwellings and apartment complexes for (Buy and hold) opportunities but with my oldest daughter in University I have discovered there is a real market opportunity is college towns with purchasing homes near campus and renting out the bedrooms to students who want a little more independence than dormitories offer. I'm also considering financing borrowers but believe there is more safety and leverage to make this move as a partner with other capital suppliers. 2016 should afford me plenty of time to narrow down my interest and build my network to support a solid and viable investment entry next year.
Take care and see all of you shortly down the road.
