Newbie from jersey shore nj looking to network and learn

[Thiago DaCruz]

Hello bp members, just wanted to introduce myself as I'm trying to learn more about the flipping houses business. I am a currently working as a real estate agent for kw (new agent) but I also own a ceramic and flooring company and been in the construction business and environment since young. One of the first things I've done by researching here was to join the reia in my area. Also, I would love to have somebody in the business of flipping homes in my area, that would be willing to be my mentor. I'm very committed and hardworking person and could also benefit my mentor with my knowledge and contacts in the construction industry. I'm excited and looking forward to learn as much as possible here and also share my knowledge with those that need it in my area of expertise. Thanks guys.
