What do you think @Josh Caldwell, any luck with LinkedIn?

I'm well connected and just started to exploit that benefit now, wondering what your successes have been...?

Thanks @Nick Patterson! I've actually connected with an experienced mentor who I'm working with to help teach me the ropes and also utilizing my skills and experience to benefit the company.  He's a well known BP-er and contributor so I'm counting on gaining a wealth of information AND benefiting from the mistakes he's already made...!  

Wish me luck! :)

@Brie Schmidt

Thank you so much for sharing your journey, challenges and successes! I especially appreciate your honesty about it not being "all rainbows"...I think if a new investor like me can hear that it takes hard work and there WILL be challenges, and goes ahead into REI anyway, there is a greater chance of success! Grit, determination and will...goes a long way, and I just wanted to say "Well Done" and thanks for being a source of inspiration for those of us still on the way...have a fabulous vacation...well deserved! Bravo!

So here's what we are looking for:

• Chicagoland area, but for this particular group of investors, needs to be A, B, or C areas of the city/suburbs
• $150-$250K range, SFH & multi
• Looking to pay 80 cents on the dollar
• Cash deal
• Quick close

Send me as much info as you have on the properties you submit to me (via email address below) and we'll start our due diligence promptly. Thanks!

I am a brand-newbie and I just did this!  And if you read it you'll get why I have a little angst at having written and posted my first Bigger Pockets Blog!  I'd love to hear your feedback if you decide to check it out here.  Thanks!

How about YouTube?

I'm getting ready to establish an online presence (in a new industry being REI, I am currently know for my mad skills selling Lexus-www.she-sells-lexus.com) but this time for my REI business. Since I am new and still learning, but yet too passionate and impatient to wait to get established online until AFTER I know more, I'm trying to develop my content ideas so that I will 1) Get Noticed (per Grant Cardone); 2) Generate a Following and; 3) Create Opportunity. Curious to know what you have/have not tried...?

Also, I like the t-shirt idea...recommend any vendors in particular?

This thread is totally up my alley! :)

@J. Martin

Great post...inspiring for this (late-starter) newbie, thank you for your transparency, contribution, wisdom and inspiration! 

Hello Fellow BP-ers & Happy Friday!

So happy to report that in just one short week I have:

-Posted and networked here quite a bit :)

- Listened to 8 BP Podcasts

- Found a great mentor to work with

- Already began my "on-the-job" training with him, including a few hours of very informative classroom-style training (the whole time thinking, "Is this really happening??!"

- Acquired an official path that supports my REI dreams and plans

- Worked harder and had the most fun than I have in a long time!

YEAH BP!

Excited about the road ahead...
