Fort Worth Experienced Buyer
Hey yall,
New to the site (had always heard of it but never utilized), but I carry a good bit of experience with investing mostly in Tarrant county.
Haves: Secured cash purchasing power, experience, knowledge, license
Needs: To expand my network of other buyers that can take on the properties I can not take on, always need more reliable contractors, always can use more properties to look at, some one to teach me the commercial property game.

@Brian Freeman to answer your questions:
1. Setup keyword alerts to be notified when someone posts in a topic you want to watch. For example "Fort Worth" or "Texas".
2. A colleague is someone who you can send messages to; someone you follow shows up on your dashboard.
3. Basic is just a regular user. Pro status gets you access to all sorts of other stuff on the site.
