Hello Bigger Pocket! My name is Donn Milton, I'm currently a Lieutenant with the Fire Department in Pensacola Florida. I'm joining bigger pockets to research real-estate wholesaling with the eventual goal of getting into buying and holding properties and rehabbing. I'm currently most interested in the business side of things including LLC formation and how the calculate numbers accurately. If there are any members in the greater Pensacola area or even father, I'd love to meet and learn what I can.

Welcome Don! The Pensacola area has a great group of investors and is a good place to invest. Be sure to check out the professional investors guild that meets once per month, lots of wholesalers in that group that are open about what they do and happy to talk with you about it. Quick Tip: Because this is a good market to invest in there are already quite a few wholesalers sending out a ton of mail. Be sure you have a marketing plan that will make you stand out.

@Donn Milton III Welcome, sir! You'll learn a lot here that you weren't even aware you didn't know. You'll win some and you'll lose some, and you'll grow. The community here is fantastic, you've come to the right place!
Thanks for the worm welcome Bryan and Matt! My worst fear is that I wouldn't get any replies, thanks for not letting me go through that. Matt, I would love to find out more about the Professional Investors Guild. Is that a local thing? Do they have a website? Also, I've done a quick search for you both on LinkedIn so we can Link up there if you also use that platform. Thanks again for the replies.
