Newbie Real Estate Investor - Cleveland, OH

[Drew Banyon]

Hello Everyone! My name is Drew Banyon and I'm a new member to BiggerPockets. I've been listening to the podcasts and now I'm diving into the blogs. I'm native to Youngstown, OH and moved to Cleveland out of college and fell in love with the city. I actually have my real estate license, but I really became interested in real estate investments during my classes. It's clear to me that this is the path I want to take going forward and not sales. I will also be balancing this with a full-time sales job. 

I'm excited to meet everyone, learn, and contribute in the forums. Going forward I would really like to focus on learning as much as I can while meeting like-minded individuals along the way.

Thank you

 Drew- Welcome!

You will have your hands full, active RE investing, is exactly that active. At one point in my career I was at a full time corporate job, today, my career is full time RE investing- (Live, breath, eat, sleep - RE) . Wish you great success in RE.
