New to BP, and looking to network with others close by

[Eric Garces]

How are you everyone, I am young and new to real estate. I currently run a Taekwondo school in Stratford CT, and soon will have my Real Estate Agent license. I am about to graduate from Stamford UConn with a Finance degree and hope to start investing in rental properties in either Norwalk or Stratford. I look forward to getting to know everyone and would love to chat with anyone who has time! I have been listening to many podcast about real estate, started to somewhat analyze properties nearby but would like the guidance with how to go about analyzing deals.
