Newbie from Des Moines
Hi guys,
My name is Roland Thompson and i'm a new investor here in the Des Moines Area. I was born in New Orleans, LA and went to college in Joplin, MO. My goal is to start doing some wholesale deals and use that experience to buy a rental property by the end of next year. 5 years from now I hope to become a professional rehabber since there is so much growth in the Des Moines Area. If there are any veteran wholesalers or rehabbers here on BP in the Des Moines Area I would love to talk with you to help cut my learning curve. Thanks guys!
