Hi from a newbie in Panama City, Florida
Hello my name is Ben Dubroc, the only background in real estate I have is a few investing books and i once have a roommate that paid me rent. I'm from Baton Rouge Louisiana, but I'm stationed in Panama City, Florida. My goals in real estate are to get started now part time, gain enough experience and a network that will allow me to be an investor full time when i get out of the military in 3 years. I found BiggerPockets while looking for reviews on real estate books.
