Hello!
My name is James, I found BiggerPockets by listening to podcasts and recently buying Brandon Turner's book (audio version) "The Book on Rental Property Investing" I am taking action and jumping into the arena after talking and dreaming about it for years.
I am here to educate myself, network with people who are where I want to be, and hopefully find resources for things I will inevitably run into when I run into them.
Cheers!
