Brand New to the Game!

[Evan Yates]

Hey everyone,

First and foremost, I want to say I'm so glad I found this community! What a great resource. I'm a newbie investor from Alpharetta, GA. I've read a handful of the Bigger Pockets books and have accrued enough knowledge and capital over the years to get my hands dirty THIS year. I look forward to learning from you all.
