Although I am born and raised here in South Florida I have been fortunate to have traveled the world while working over the last 4 years.My company, Tier 1 Home Buyers LLC, is primarily engaged in real estate acquisitions and renovations.Hobbies that I enjoy include bicycle riding, camping, exploring new countries and cultures, learning about history while traveling, and fixing things that are broken (rehabbing ;).This community that BiggerPockets has created seems vast and full of exceptional individuals, I look forward to meeting you out in the field.Have a prosperous week!
