Last year I took a step back from entrepreneurship and joined a tech startup in the blockchain space.While I am still doing as much research as possible to develop my strategy, my current interest is in purchasing properties to buy and hold.I am also exploring different markets, and so far, what's caught my eye has been Savannah, Georgia, Columbus, Ohio and Chattanooga, Tennessee.I'm looking forward to learning connecting with as many people as possible.In the meantime, send me some tips I won't find in the "Investing in Real Estate 101" books!

I am here to learn more and explore down the rabbit hole!
