Welcome to BP Elizabeth!

Welcome to BP Mark!

Although I can not help answer any of your questions. You came to the right place for help. I am sure a seasoned RE investor can help you out. As a fellow Ohioan I wanted to welcome you to BP Rob.

Elisha,

I am new, but I found Ken McElroy's books in the Rich Dad Poor Dad series helpful. Also you could listen to the BP Podcasts and look through the podcast show notes. Very good info there. May find some of what you want.

Hope this helps.
Gary

Thanks everyone for welcoming me to BP. It means a lot to see how helpful everyone is here on BP. I am looking forward to being an active member on this site.

I wish everyone good quality investing. Talk to you soon.

Hello everyone! My name is Gary Timmons and am currently living in Columbus Ohio area. I have been lurking on the site for 3 weeks or so and to make me more accountable to my plans/goals I would introduce myself. So I am new to Real Estate Investing and have no experience in it....yet.

It all started when I got smacked in the face with the realization that I am getting nowhere working for someone. Searched on "How to become wealthy" found "Rich Dad Poor Dad", read it and BAM! found myself google searching "getting starting in Real Estate Investing in Columbus". I ran across Ben Leybovich's site and soon realized he had written blogs here on BP. Signed up found the Ultimate Beginners Guide (fantastic information), BP podcast (Best Podcast ever), and The Book on Flipping Houses (Best flipping Book (lol) by far).

Why am I here on BP???...I am here to build relationships, gain friends, further my education, and then become a mentor to others.

My REI plans/goals are to start flipping houses and buying some multifamily units for the ultimate goal of passive income. Leave my FT job and do whatever I want, whenever I want, with whomever I want.

Sorry for being long winded. I get that way when I am excited.
Thanks for reading.
