The subject of real estate makes my heart skip a beat. I love real estate.  When I was younger, I held a leasing and then real estate sales license but at the time, I didn't plan properly and couldn't make money fast enough to stay in the game full time. I went on to property management for several years until I had some health issues. Everything I do seems to bring me back to my passion, real estate. I am now ready to start bird dogging while gaining some experience to doing some real investing, maybe a few flips and then some buy and holds. I am also about to looking into getting my RE Broker license as well. I am excited about the talent on BP.  I'm looking to learn and make great connection here of BP.
