New here. Yay!

[DiEdra Stinson]

Hi everyone!
My name is DiEdra (pronounced dee-ED-ra). I'm here in the suburbs of Chicago. Since I was a child, I've done something with real estate - starting with building houses out of shoe boxes, then drawing them (by hand) along with floor plans before entering high school. I got derailed (but not mentally) for 35+ years. A blessing in disguise came along in the form of battling a serious illness and bodily injury 10 years ago til today. It taught me that doing what I love will add to my happiness and satisfaction in life. I love real estate and IT'S TIME to do the thing! I'm beginning in wholesaling. I anticipate my joy as I face and kick yet another challenge in the rear!

So happy to have found you, BiggerPockets, as my learning platform.
I desire to add value as I learn from you guys.
