Hello Bigger Pockets World!
Hi everyone,
My Names Frank Contreras, out of the El Paso, Texas area. I purchased my first home about a year ago and would really like to turn this in to a rental property and purchase a second home. The thing is I have no idea what next step is or what I should be doing. I've bought real estate books to get me started and now joining the bigger pockets community, so that I can meet and learn from people in and out of my area. I currently work for ADP, but with time would like to trade my cubicle and be in real estate investing full time. Really excited to join the bigger pockets group and even more excited to chat with ya'll. Thanks!
