I've been interested in business since I was 11 and last year took interest in real estate investing.I live in the southern part of New Hampshire in a small town that no one knows exists.I'm looking to learn a thing or two from all of the great people on this site, and eventually, hope to contribute once I've taken a few steps on my journey!

I work out of town and don't always have the best cell service.

Work has me out of town a lot and not always with the best of cell service.
