Long time listener. First time caller.
Hey guys, my name is Joe Melvin. I've been investing in real estate since 2005. My wife Amy and I currently own & manage 10 properties in Southern Indiana. I discovered BiggerPockets about a year ago and have occasionally frequented the site to search for answers about rentals or if I was daydreaming about flipping/wholesaling. The site has taught me so much as a passive member that I knew it was time to step it up. This spring I upgraded to the Pro account and began dedicating time to learning through the site and podcasts. As a full time investor I'm looking forward to connecting, learning, and sharing with everyone and hope that I can add value to this already great community.
Thanks, Joe
