Greetings BiggerPockets Community! Ready to Dive into Real Estate Investing
Hello everyone,
Excited to join the BiggerPockets community! I'm Edward Barrios, bringing a background in real estate, property management, and sales to the table. After years in the industry, I'm finally taking the leap into real estate investing.
My goal? Owning several apartment buildings with a minimum of 25 to 30 units each. But I'm currently at that thrilling stage of working towards my first deal, exploring various strategies and niches.
I'm here not just to seek advice but to contribute and grow with you all. If you're on a similar journey or have wisdom to share, let's connect and succeed together in the world of real estate investing.
Looking forward to our conversations!
Best,
Edward
