This will not only broaden my exposure to the market but also help me network with other investors and professionals as I work towards my long-term goals.My aim is to start buying properties for myself in 2026, as I’ll need some time to get my finances in order.I’m excited to be a part of this community and would greatly appreciate any advice, tips, or guidance you can share.
