Feelin' The Power of BP!

What a crazy past week and I half! I've been a long time listener of BiggerPockets Podcast and finally pulled the trigger and decided to take some action. I'm not a very social guy but I decided to go to a BiggerPockets meetup in Raleigh, NC where I live. While there I collected countless business cards of other like minded investors and contractors and was also referred to a wholesalers meetup which I attended and it was great. I also met two people who you've interviewed on the podcast, Dawn Brenengan from episode 101 and Karen Rittenhouse (and her husband Jim) from episode 2. Karen and Jim sat a with me, told stories, and gave advice for about an hour AND I exchanged info with Dawn, she sent me a deal 2 days ago, and I put an offer in today! I am feelin the power of BP! I expanded my knowledge base for about a year but eventually, I realized I had to take some action and build a network or else i'd never build a real estate portfolio. I was amazed and enthralled at how open other people in this industry are to chat and share info and I want to extend my thanks to you because the common thread of everyone I've meet is this site. THANK YOU!

@Carl L DeCesare we were at last week's BP meeting! We met so many great people, we're sorry we didn't get to chat with you! So happy you are taking your first steps. Let us know if we can help!

@Dawn Brenengen we'd love to be added to your buyer's list when you find deals around the triangle!
