Hello BP group! I have been reading material on this site for a few years now. I have been investing in RE since 2008 and like most of you am looking network and expand my business. Maybe even learn a thing or two!

Thanks all! Parker, appreciate reaching out! I believe we’ve been in contact recently, and I did a walkthrough on one of your homes late last year.
I see you’re in Georgia. If you ever need “boots on the ground” for properties in the Summerville/Charleston area, please let me know!

Yah Dave and I met; he seems competent, self-assured, and reasonable. Maybe we can work together in the new year. It certainly helps to be so close in proximity and be alike in a few other ways.

@Jason Merchey thanks for the kind words.
Yes, Jason and I met. Jason is reliable, determined, and as mentioned shares some commonalities with me. We hope to collaborate in the near future, and experience growth of our businesses as a result

Hello! @Dave Rav
Welcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.
I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing. Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.
First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:

The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.
There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
I love answering questions if you have any! Good Luck :)
