New Member Looking to prepare for first deal

[Ryan Rogowski]

Hey BP! Just a quick introduction. First I love this site, the forums, and podcast (which is always playing in one ear)! I'm in the southeast Virginia area, and studying the markets close by. I currently work for a contractor who's just got his feet wet with a fix and flip. This has made me stick around to learn more from him since REI has always been an interest for me. Recently I've decided to use my after work time to study for the real estate license exam. I know this is a bit of a debate for most real estate investors, but I would like more input. I personally think it will allow me more revenue than I'm making now, and allow for easier access to investment deals down the road. Thoughts? Thanks for any input, and glad to be a part of this community!
