Newbie in Tampa, FL
Hi everyone,
My name is Sharisma Sawyer and I am new to the Tampa area, I am also new to the world of Real Estate. I am interested in Buying and Flipping houses but I have no idea where to start or how to find funding. I am still in the learning process, I am reading books and listening to podcasts. I am also opened to any advice any of you wonderful professionals might have.
I can say though, that I am excited to be a member of Bigger Pockets and I am ready to network and meet some amazing people.
