Hi @Martin E Kamenar.

To post an introduction, click on "Community" in the Navigation bar. A drop down menu will appear, and at the bottom of that menu is Start a Discussion.

Click that blue box, and you are taken to a new window, where you can choose a forum to post in, then write a headline and introduction post.

Hey, everybody.  I'm a newbie in Texas.  I'm not sure how to get started so I read blog posts and listen to the podcasts.  I don't even know how to interact on here outside of commenting on post and congratulating other members on their success.  Any info will be appreciated.  I will definitely be checking out the "How to Get Started" post.  Thanks!

So here I am, got started before I found all of this great inpho so yep I made a good mistake and got some knots on my head. That first property finally rented 260 above mortgage, taxes, and insurance. only took me 7 months. In the mean time I have made other investments that are cash flowing so I am trying to learn the easier way now.
