Real estate is more than a passion; it's a path toward financial freedom that I believe many of us share.Whether it's tips about specific areas, insights into pursuing wealth through real estate, or simply a friendly chat about San Antonio's culture, I'm all ears.Looking forward to building friendships, learning from you all, and growing together.Cheers, Eddie
