I've been listening to the Bigger Pockets podcast for a few days now and have decided to check out the forums. I'm a realtor in AA, have two kids and a amazing wife. I've decided that I want more financial freedom and something that I can build for myself and my family. The only property I own is the one I live in. I have many goals. One being to join the hated 1%. I also have a goal of helping others, especially those from the lower socioeconomic areas of south east Michigan, to be financially free.
This is all new to me and frankly it's a little intimidating. I hope to soak up every little piece of knowledge I can.
