[Jacob Sanders]

Hey everyone! My name is Jacob Sanders and I'm a real estate virgin, for lack of a better term. Myself, my wife, and my daughter live in Arizona and we just got married on February 8th. Woo! :) I heard about BiggerPockets while doing some research about real estate investing. It seems to me that this is definitely the place to start! I have wanted to get into real estate for several years now. It's always been something that I'm interested in, because I've always had quite the entrepreneurial spirit and mindset. I've always loved looking at property and houses in person and on the Internet and television. I'm a quick learner and I love to read and research things, so I will be on the forums quite frequently. My wife and I figured that after marriage would be a great time to get in the world of real estate investments. Our goal would be to work together as a team, part-time at first, and flip houses. I would love to flip my first house before the end of the year and make a nice profit! I don't take this lightly, so the research phase is very important to me/us. I want to make sure that my wife and I have more than enough information to make informed decisions about the properties that we invest in. Cash is tight, but we have a vision for what we want. With your knowledge, I have no doubt that we can get there! -Jacob
