Hi there,

New to the forums/Site so things are a little over whelming at the moment!

Lots to learn but I guess as with everything new it will only take a little time.

I am here seeking new ideas as well as to learn a new Career?

Currently I am the handyman/carpenter. Wanting to learn the investor ropes.

I was given the forum link from an investor in my area who says, THIS IS YOUR FIRST STEP MATT....

So, Here GOES!

Hello to All Im willing to LEARN and help if possible!

All the best,

Matt
