Newbie from Atlanta, GA

[Shirlynn Brownell]

Hello Everyone!

My name is Shirlynn Brownell and I'm very excited to get started networking and learning on BiggerPockets.com.... I am a Project Analyst at the GA Department of Economic Development. As an agency we are responsible for attracting new business and revenue to the state as well as supporting existing industries....As of this moment, I have no background in real estate. I am currently taking classes with Barney Fletcher and will be taking my state license exam the first week in July. I want to start off in residential sales to build income, and within a year move into commercial. I eventually want to get into the investment side of commercial RE, but am still learning how all of that works since I am so new to RE altogether. I am in the process of getting a promotion at work which will make me a Project Manager in what is basically my Agency's Commercial RE Department. So it would be a great opportunity for me to build connections and learn as much as I can about this business... I found out about Bigger Pockets via someone I follow on Twitter.
