If you can stop buy it's a great way to get to know some of the local investors who are hungry for knowledge and love real estate.

I'm still in the process of educating myself about the basics, but I hope to eventually use my skills and knowledge as a builder to gain "sweat equity" in my future investments.  

Applying my own knowledge and common sense, I began to develop my own numbers.Once I ended up with a property, I wanted to manage it myself. 

He is AWESOME, has a teaching spirit and is very knowledgeable.

Again, I want thank everyone in this community for the past and future knowledge I have gathered and will gather!

Based on what I have learned so far, I would say I have a primary interest in learning more about BRRRR, rental, and flipping strategies, but will take every opportunity to learn as much as I can.I hope that I can bring value to the community by not only absorbing knowledge, but by being useful and helpful to others who are also looking to build wealth and accomplish their dreams.

The bigger pockets team and community has given me so much confidence and knowledge on real estate.

I am looking for a knowledgeable Real Estate Tax Advisor in the Northern Virginia/ DC Area.
