HELLO BP COMMUNITY! 100% Newbie from Miami, FL.
Hello my name is Andrea. I am from Miami, FL and new to the world of investing. I've been lurking around the BP website for a couple of months now and today I've decided to finally introduce myself. I came across the BP forum initially through the podcasts. Brandon and Josh, I thoroughly enjoy listening to your podcasts, they have helped me wrap my mind around some of the RE concepts. Thank you !
In hopes of becoming more knowledgable about RE, I've read several books and continue to read. I wasn't sure how to go about finding a mentor with no real RE education, as I would like to know what I am talking about so I don't seem uninformed or uneducated, so recently I enrolled in a real estate associate course. My ultimate goal is buy and hold rentals but I also want to get involved with fix and flips.
I just wanted to introduce myself, look forward to meeting new people and interacting with you all!
Andrea
