Looking to connect in Tacoma/ Seattle

[Lazanedra Taylor]

Happy New Year!

My name is Lazanedra. I just graduated college at University of Washington studying Business Marketing. I am new in the Real Estate Industry and I'm looking to connect with Real Estate Developers and Investors throughout Tacoma/ Seattle (preferred). I would like to pick some brains on how they were able to start their journey developing and investing. I would like to become a Real Estate Investor to build capital and experience, then get into development.

Looking forward to connect!
