Hello BP community,

My name is Brett and I am fairly new to BP and REI. I am a 28 year old physical therapist currently living in Brookline, MA. I came across BP after hearing it mentioned in a different personal finance podcast. After further investigation, I was immediately hooked. I have been a member on BP for about 4 months and have recently become a PRO member. I have been spending the last few months educating myself on all the different types of REI and the key financial measures that apply to each. My main focus is on buy and hold properties in the western MA area. My first goal is to obtain 3 properties over the next year. I've begun my direct marketing which has already produced a few promising leads and have been analyzing three properties a night to improve my ability to find a great deal. However, I have many questions on , direct marketing strategies and numerous other topics. I have been attending REIA meetings here in Boston, posting on the forums and continue to read books mentioned in the podcasts. I hope to find a few mentors on BP that wouldn't mind answering a few questions from time to time and assist in furthering my education on REI. Thanks for taking the time to read my post and look forward to hearing from you!

- Brett
