New to Bigger Pockets
Hello bigger pockets community! My Name is Arthur Timmins, I live in the Wichita, Kansas area and I was reading the book on investing in real estate with little or no money down and it refered me to this website to get help and information from like minded individuals. I'm new to the whole real estate investing but plan to learn and become a buy and hold investor. I look forward to meeting and talking and learning from you guys and hopefully one day soon share my success story on buying my first rental investment property!
