I’m glad to join this group where I can learn from seasoned investors, and I can help anyone that wants to move or invest in our area. A lot of things are happening on this side of TN, if anyone is interested in hearing about it, get in touch and we’ll chat and I can tell you all about it. I found the BiggerPockets podcast a couple of weeks ago, and I told myself that I had to join this group. The subjects are on point along with the guest speakers that share their good and challenge experiences, after all we are here to learn, and making mistakes are part of the process.

I’m original from Lima - Peru (bilingual of course), but I’ve been living in the USA for 24+ years. I have a BS degree in Business (Organizational Leadership) from Union University. I work for RE/MAX Realty Source as an agent for a couple of years now, and I love all sides of Real Estate. The selling, buying, renting, hunting, rehabbing, etc. and happy to continue learning about this industry hands-on.
