thank you @Anthony Thompson. Its nice to be able to connect with like minded individuals virtually, especially now. 

Hi, just wanted to say hi to the group. I wear a lot of hats, as many people do on this site. I own some investment properties in South County, teach in Norther RI, and I am a real estate agent licensed in MA and RI. I listen to bigger pockets podcasts all the time and finally decided to start posting. I love there is a RI forum and already have come across some great questions. 

I would like to be an active contributor as time goes on.
