Investor from Arizona
Hi All,
I'm Aaron Jones from Arizona and somewhat new to Bigger Pockets. I say somewhat because I have known about and followed BP for a few months but recently signed up and went Pro just today. A little bit about me; Prior to the market crash in 2008 I had experienced some success investing in real estate but , like most of my RE peers at the time, I was painfully ill prepared for the market downturn. I traded my RE and mortgage broker's licenses for a corporate banking job as a last resort. Although the JOB has been very good to me the last 8 years I can't shake the passion for real estate, both rehabbbing and buy and hold for passive income. I am very excited to be a Pro here at Bigger Pockets to learn, grow and succeed.
