Hello,
My name is Mike, I am in the Richmond VA area, and I just wanted to introduce myself. First post on BP and it only took me two weeks. I have, however, been listening to pod casts and reading and learning all that time. Feeling like I found something I was missing for a long time.

@Ned Carey thanks! I was born and raised for about 10 years just outside of Charm City. Still have lots of friends and family in the area. I hope the investments are much hotter than my two favorite pro sports franchises.
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 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.
Thank you for the invite. I was going to post and ask about any REIAs or meet ups in the area. I checked the board and the closest one is in VA Beach so far, but I'm not opposed to making that trip. We can certainly grab a coffee, my treat.

Welcome to BP @Michael Austin - better late than never, immerse yourself in the content but nothing replaces experience. Most experienced investors are on here too so feel free to post topics, being specific really helps to detailed answers. If you are ever in Austin, Texas - let's grab a beer!
