Hi everybody,
Currently, I am entering my final semester at CSULB and earning an M.A. in Political Science, while working part-time at a fashion retailer.
In joining BP, my hope is to: network, learn the ins and outs of real estate investing, and to develop skills that would make me an asset to any future teams and partnerships. Since joining, I have started downloading the wonderful E-books provided by BP as to better grasp the basics and to educate myself before taking steps towards entering the real estate market, such as a realtors license.
Overall, my goal is to achieve financial independence through the ownership of multiple rental and commercial properties. While I know that this journey will be long, I'm excited to start.
