I’d love to connect with local real estate agents, lenders, and contractors who can help me navigate this journey.I’m continuing to educate myself on finding, analyzing, and financing deals, and I’m excited to hear any advice or recommendations the community has to offer.Thank you for reading, and I look forward to connecting with many of you!
