Hello everyone!!! My name is Chensea and I’m new to the community. I’m so exited abt this website and all it has to offer. I heard abt it from a client of mine a while back when we were discussing the Rich Dad Poor Dad book. I recently went to a Than Merrill seminar in Michigan and they were trying to sell me on a hope. Something clicked and made me remember this site and I decided to join.

My background:

I’ve been in sales most of my working career and abt 3 years ago I started doing mortgages at a major company and loved it. I left the industry to take care of my 1st daughter full time. I entered her into modeling and she’s signed. It requires us to take her to out of state to her agency once or twice a month and this is a great road tripping experience. She just turned 1. Now I’ve enjoyed my time off and being with my daughter and want to continue doing that. This is when I decided to do more research into real estate investing. I feel this will give my family a great boost towards our dreams as well as setting up our children for financial freedom early. 

I’m from Michigan in the Metro Detroit area. I would like to meet people in my area. As well as other areas to learn from and offer my time and knowledge of what I know to achieve this goal. I just want to learn as much as possible from everyone here and hopefully help someone else learn something as well.  I am expected to receive a lump sum of monies soon and want to put some of it towards our first investment property or any real estate investment. I hope to hear from some of you soon!!!!

Hi @Chensea S. Thomas,

See you are from Metro Detroit like me so that is really awesome! It is some really good REI Meetups, one I like a lot is called Renegade Detroit, meets usually in Southfield. Just a good bunch of people and you will meet any and everyone there. I think it is one early October, not sure if this helps but be good to go to meet others in our area who is doing things in real estate.
