Hi from Florida
Hi everyone, my name is Dorcas Wood and I've been in Telecommunications for about 18 years. I live in South Florida and love our little tropical paradise even though it's 48 degrees right now ;-)It's a new year and I'm going for my dream of real estate investing. I am looking forward to learning as much as I can and becoming successful and networking with you all.

Hey @Dorcas Wood, welcome to BP and the Florida investing community!
Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of BP and kickstart your investing journey:
Start here. You'll get a wealth of REI knowledge and learn how to take full advantage of Bigger Pockets (including how to connect with other investors).
Listen to the podcasts , get active on the forums & set up key word alerts to be notified when people are discussing topics you're interested in.
Check out the webinars, they are very informative, and there’s usually a new one every week. I'm an agent/investor up in Orlando, so reach out anytime. I wish you all the best Dorcas!
