I am so jazzed by the Bigger Pockets Website.  My business partner and I started on this venture in October of 2013.  We both had the same goals and challenges.  Over 40 with no retirement and a love of Real Estate.  My history is as an Interior Designer and Project Coordinator in the construction industry for the past 10 years.  I know remodels.  My partner, Brooke, just got her Real Estate license in Oregon last year.  Now all we had to do was get started.  We got hooked in thru one of the traveling guru seminars and were off and running.  I have heard it said by a number of the Podcast guests that they googled a question and Bigger Pockets came up.... That's how I found you.  We are currently wholesaling....ok, wanting to wholesale (still working on closing our first deal)...until we can really jump in to what we really love.  Our goal is to rehab single family properties.  I love the feeling of finding the potential in a building and bringing it out to shine!  We look forward to a long and profitable relationship with our fellow members.  

Thank you to Josh & Brandon for providing this invaluable site so we could all get together.  See you all around
