Hey Guys, I'm the new new guy, here to learn and hopefully make my first deal in the next 12 months. Currently I'm getting my personal finances in order so that it will not be a sticking point when I go to make my first deal. So at the moment while I put that plan in action (which I have been doing over the last 5 months) I am being a sponge and learning as much as possible here and in my local market. So Hi everybody!

    Welcome @Eric Brundige!

    I am pretty new to the site also. I suggest posting and getting involved in different discussions as often as possible. I am also looking to purchase my first property in the next few months.

    Best of luck to you on your journey!

    Welcome. 

    Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers). You can Google to locate them and go to meetup.com

    Two Great reads, I bought both J. Scott The Book on Flipping Houses, The Book on Estimating ReHab Costs http://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook
