Newbie from Alabama wanting to introduce myself

[John Purcell]

I just wanted to drop by and introduce myself to the forums. I am brand new to the idea of investing in real estate. I have owned my own pest control company for the past 8 years, but I have always had a desire to invest in real estate. I am planning on starting a real estate class to obtain my license starting in May. I have been reading the forum posts as well as blog posts and started listening to the podcast from episode 1. I love the community that has been built and is continuing to be built here at bigger pockets. I look forward to cultivating relationships with you guys!!! I am interested in flipping and buy and hold at this point, but I am open to a balanced investing strategy.
