Just about a week ago I had the pleasure of listening to the very first Biggerpockets Podcast. It was informative, clumsy and a touch awkward in light of how smooth they are nowadays.

It was momentous for me, as fifteen months earlier, in May of 2019, I listened to my very first BP Podcast and was absolutely hooked. Wanting to learn as much as I could about real estate, and seeing the tremendous value (an understatement) of the content of these shows, I vowed to listen to every single one, from newest to oldest, to create a base of knowledge to propel myself from.

Lo and behold! 394 podcasts later I've kept my word.

The daily advice and guidance of Josh, Brandon and David was immensely helpful. Over these months, I quick-flipped a house, did three short-term private money loans, and am currently ironing out a 4-Plex house hack via an FHA loan, not mentioning the various deals that didn't play out or fell through (including a partnership for a trailer park at a tax foreclosure auction. That would've been massively fun!).

This past year has been a solid base hit. I wish it could've been a homerun, but being 26 on the outskirts of Urbandecay Michigan, I'll take it!

A huge thank you to the BiggerPockets community and to everyone who teaches and sacrifices their time and energy to help those who need it. BP has been an asset of unspeakable benefit to me. I can't wait to see what the next year holds in store!
