Hi there!

I live in West Palm and I’m in the process of putting together my first deal! I have been sponging up as much information as I can from the podcasts and finishing about a book a week, Unfortunately I haven’t been able to make it to any of the networking or meet-ups as of yet (because of my job). Just putting the word out to help out any investor that needs it in the area and to get some first hand experience!
