Newbie from Lafayette, Indiana

[Ron Jordan]

Hello, BiggerPockets Community! I'm a thirty year old factory worker from Lafayette, Indiana. I'm married with two children and I've been listening to the BP Podcast and learning a lot about real estate. I've been wanting to get educated and get started, and I finally decided to join the forums to learn more and connect with people in my area.
