Hello Everyone, 

My Name is Edward, I'm brand spanking new to real estate. So I've been interested in having my own business for as long as I can remember. I never liked working for minimum wage, or working for anybody else no matter the pay. I was very young when I stepped into the world of "working for self". I grew up in a rough neighborhood, so without any disclosures I'm sure all the smart people can figure out that my extra curricula activities were not school related. With that being said, I wholeheartedly considered myself an entrepreneur. I became this person that I didn't fully understand, nor did I like this person. I lost quite a few friends in my lifetime, much more than any normal person should have too. I didn't have much of a family growing up. Being from a very diverse background I never really fit in anywhere. I did a lot of thinking, mostly about where my life would take me. Wasn't that hard to figure out where it would lead me if I stayed on the path I started on. I joined the military, I knew that I wasn't going to be there long. I joined with intent to either die or when I finished my tour get out hoping it would give me some type of normal foundation. Joining is equivalent to being born again. You don't know anyone, you don't recognize anything, It's just you. I was still very traumatized by how I grew up, I never allowed anyone to really get close to me so any sudden changes wouldn't effect me too much. I am a firm believer that friendship is based on mutual respect and undying trust. I slowly noticed that I was opening up to people more and more, not because I wanted to;  but it just kind of happened. Like I stated earlier I'm a thinker. I began to think about decisions that effect the collective energy all around me. I realized that we are all connected, and when I do something no matter if it's positive or negative it leaves ripples that every human being can feel. I realized some interesting things about myself early and continued to develop them. Anyway, I'm an open book with blank pages yet to have been written on. The last several years of my life have been about self discovery. Learning how to function on a larger scale. Anyway I'm going to end here because I have to leave. Feel free to contact me. Let's have lunch, dinner or whatever. I'd like to speak with someone who is as motivated about change as I am.
