New to biggerpockets and my first post!
Hi my name is Drew Richardson I am in the Kansas city area. I have been researching real estate for a while now and I'm finally ready to buy my first property! I decided to get into real estate because I want to have something for my family to have when I leave (and I hate my job haha).. if there is anyone in the KC area I would love to meet and possibly down the road do some work together!

Hey Drew,
I'm James and like you I'm also new! I too I'm finally ready to jump into the market. I just spent 2 weeks off; as I transferred full time jobs, and that time spent was so liberating, I want that lifestyle to be my norm!
