Hello everyone! I've been following the site for a little while now and decided it was time to join in. I'm excited about being around like minded individuals and learning from all the amazing knowledge you guys are sharing. Hopefully I'll be able to repay the favor to some new investors on here down the road! I'm "newish" to investing in that I've only owned 2 investment properties in about 15 years, but I've been interested in it forever. Got my real estate broker's license in 2007 to be around the business more. Looking forward to taking it to the next level and making investing the primary focus of my business life. Currently looking for wholesale deals and renovations, with the longer term goal of getting some buy and holds.

I got my license to get my foot in the real estate world, learn how the process of buying and selling works, and make some money in the process. I'm currently active as a real estate broker, but am looking to eventually use the license primarily for my own investing.

On a side note, while I've got your ear, just want to say I love the weekly podcasts! You guys do a great job of bringing in great people to learn from, but more importantly, you do a great job of asking relevant questions to dig a little deeper and get the most out of the interviews. Keep up the great work!
