The Brand Newbie Rookie of the Year..
Hey guys what's going on! My name is "Raden" pronounced like the guy from Mortal Kombat
I am 23 years old and I Reside in Ontario, California. i have been part of bigger pockets a a couple weeks now but just got started on the forum. I look forward to learning and applying a lot more then I have already. Basically about my self I am an entrepreneur looking for something that can pay me well. I have been in the financial services, sales for quite a while now. Also I'm Just about to be a real estate agent as well. But one of my main focus' on becoming part of this community is to actually grow in my real estate knowledge and take action so it may bring wealth to me and my wife n family. So I hope to hear from you guys more and possibly connect with others like me.

Hey Raden Mantuano welcome to the site!
I'm not to far from you, here in the San Fernando Valley. REI can definitely be a lucrative business if you make the right moves. Making the right moves is a lot easier when you have the right education/knowledge behind your decisions. And you've come to the right place for that!
