We are happy that you have joined BP!

We only just moved to the area a few months ago from Buffalo, NY, so I don't think I'll be able to help you with area expertise, but I can offer to you to check out the podcasts, join in conversation in the forums, and check out the Education -> Guides in the top menu of the BP website.  

I joined this forum to network, learn and congregate with like minded people. 

I am joining BiggerPockets to obtain and further enhance my knowledge regarding Real Estate practices as well as meeting new faces that I can hope to provide assistance of my own as well as gain knowledge from them and their experiences.My expertise includes being involved in Public Relations and having worked in the Public Sector for many years.

I joined after my first meeting in September and can't say enough good things about Mark and Camille, who organize it all.Best of luck!

I joined BiggerPockets because I would like to learn about the real estate business, network with the community and add my entreueneoural experience when required.  

Hope you can join us!
