intro to bigger pockets
Hi everyone in the Real estate world
My name is Keanu Wapples i’m very motivated young real estate investor trying to learn the ropes. I’m not asking anyone to give me any money but more of an opportunity just to learn. So if anyone in North jersey, New York city or Allentown PA area willing to take someone under there wing I would be more then grateful I’m willing to do anything intern, pick up trash anything. (WE ALL HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE SO I’M JUST ASKING YOU TO REMEMBER WHEN U NEEDED A START).
Sincerely Keanu Wapples
