New to Bigger Pockets! Danielle from Jacksonville, FL!

[Danielle Fattizzi]

Hello Bigger Pockets! 

My name is Danielle Fattizzi and I am so excited to be a part of this awesome community! The last three days have been spent clicking around the site trying to wrap my head around all of the amazing features and today I decided for sure that I want to thoroughly involve myself with Bigger Pockets so I took the dive head-first. 

Right now I am residing in beautiful, historic Saint Augustine, FL (about 30 minutes south of Jacksonville) working as a bartender. Years have been spent reading and studying the in's and out's of REI but only recently I've begun putting the wheels in motion to start my business. I know that this is what I'm meant to do. I have invested countless hours into deciding my goals and figuring out my real purpose for making REI my career -- retiring my parents. They have worked so hard to give my brother and I everything we have and now, in their early 60's, there is no light at the end of the "9 to 5 job" tunnel for them. I want to give them their lives back.

I am so looking forward to connecting with people in all stages of their journey in REI!
