Aspiring Investors in St. Louis, MO
Hello BP Community,
My name is Brandon Edwards. My wife, Kristin, and I are aspiring real estate investors with a goal to become official rental property owners in 2018. We’d like to build a real estate portfolio large enough to provide us the option of quitting our “9-5s”. She is a CPA tax accountant and I’m an HR professional. We have a base knowledge in real estate through books as well as by listening to the BP podcasts but are looking for hands on experience.
We look forward to networking with you all!
Sincerely,
Kristin and Brandon Edwards

Welcome @Charles Edwards you are definitely in the right place! I found BP in 2017 and it has helped me tremendously in launching a real estate investing company. Best of luck getting started and let us know if we can help!
