I'm jumping in with both feet and I want to meet as many people as possible. My background has been banking and now debt settlement and my soul has been quickly sucked dry. I have wanted to be a real estate investor for over 10 years, but always had an excuse to delay it. Finally, I have woken up and am going to give this my all. I love people and I am extremely excited to meet and talk with anyone that will help me get started. I don't know very much, but hopefully my energy and enthusiasm and willingness to do anything to succeed will offer some value. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this!
