Hello, BP Community! My name is Francis and I'm new to real estate investing and Bigger Pockets. I've been on BP for almost 3 weeks actually. I got the pro membership after watching some of the webinars and finally completed my profile and worked out the direction I want to head in with REI. I'm here to learn as much as I can from a community of like minded people with the hopes of gaining financial freedom through flipping first and eventually buying rental properties. I graduated from Penn State as a Civil Engineer and have had management positions with several large construction companies since then. It's long and hard work that keeps me away from family and the things that I love to do. My hope is that I can slowly build my REI resume and skill set so that I can leave my current job in 5 years or so and really build wealth that allows me the freedom to use my time for my family, others and myself. So, all that being said, thank you for welcoming me into the fold and I look forward to starting on my journey towards financial freedoms through real estate investing!
