Hey BP! 

I'm based in Boston, but from the north shore. 

My goals I have for BP include learn and document a house hack in a Multi Fam in the next year. Also to offer direct marketing knowledge and resources to BP members so they can be successful in their marketing campaigns.

I love real estate photography and that's how I launched my REI career. Drone video recording is another hobby as well and fun for REI also.

    Hello Everyone!

    1. 🌎 I am based in Orlando FL and hoping to start locally but expand into other states as I get more experience. 

    2. 💫 I'm looking to buy and hold rental properties long term.

    3. 🤪 I enjoy riding my electric unicycle. 


     Welcome Liam! There is a great investor community here in Orlando with several meetups. I suggest you get connected and start networking locally as you begin to build your portfolio.

    Hello BP fam! 

    1. I'm based in Anchorage AK and hope to invest initially here locally. I also have a brother who's flipped a few houses in Lynchburg VA who I've talked to about going in on a project together.

    2. My goals are to turn my financial ship around and steer myself to financial freedom. I want to retire from clinical dentisty at 40 years old. That gives me 11 years to kill it! I've already got a plan that scares me.

    3. I love biohacking and facilitating healing ceremonies. Mushrooms, breathwork, Ice baths, movement, etc. Something I'm actually holding with curiosity and compassion is how to be authentic to my values and beleifs and pursue wealth. I believe the system is broken, and I'm not entirely sure how comfortable I am exploiting it.

    Hi @Soren Loftus, you mention that the system is broken, what does that mean to you? I am curious.

    That depends how deep you want to go 😜. Surface level.. eternal growth and expansion doesn’t serve humans or the earth well. We’re all suffering from chronic overstimulation and disconnection. This state of anxiety and inflammation has just become our normal. The education, food, tech, medical and financial systems are designed to keep people poor, dumb and numb so they make good worker bees and are easy to control.

    Real estate investing combined with business ownership is honestly the best method I can see for rebelling and escaping that rat race and creating freedom for not only myself but also for my future grandkids. The other option that an increasing number of people are taking is simply opting out. Leaving their tech jobs to start community homesteads. That’s tempting and I’ve thought about it, but I have 550k in debt right now so I need to go deeper into the system first in order to break free of it. Also, I don’t actually desire to go full on homestead 😅

    Maybe that’s a little too much honesty here though ha 🤷🏼‍♂️
