Welcome to BP Isaac I am in building trades and working my way out as well.

I'm in the process of looking for my first investment as well, and would love to trade ideas and just talk about what's out there.I'm also an agent, but I'm on BP more to learn and talk with other people from an investor's point of view, rather than promote myself.

In addition to my direct experience in RE sales, I have a strong analytical/financial mindset build upon by years of trading in the financial markets (still active), I have a growing web/technical skill set ("nathanielrand.me" or "43sanibel.estate" to provide examples), and a strong blend of creative problem solving established through years of hard knocks.

I do web and mobile app development and was hoping maybe I could trade my time doing some of that kind of work for a little guidance and helping getting started.Looking forward to hearing from you guys!
