New(ish) To BiggerPockets
What's up BiggerPockets community! My name is Riley McMinn and I'm a new real estate investor living in Fort Lauderdale, FL while investing in Columbia, MO. I've been reading, listening, and self educating through BP over the past couple years and have recently taken that first scary/exciting/emotional roller coaster of a step and purchased my first duplex out of state. My fiance and I have put a long term plan in place to earn financial freedom in 5 years and none of it would have been possible without this amazing platform. Anyone associated with real estate in the Fort Lauderdale/Columbia markets, please don't hesitate to reach out and connect. Once COVID-19 and social distancing are things of the past, excited to attend any meet-ups in the South Florida community!
