Most of them have formal research and investigative backgrounds, in addition to being bright, organized, knowledgeable, hardworking, highly competent, good at taking calculated risks, and, of course, quite wealthy.

We're looking at expanding from our current knowledge in the real estate industry (we both used to be agents in another state) and learn the ins and outs of flipping, wholesaling, and eventually renting. mostly looking to learn from the immense amount of knowledge within the community and hopefully share some of what we learned from the agents side as well. also hoping to meet up and network with others in the industry as well and get recommendations on good trade workers that work around the area as we haven't networked nearly at all since moving here.Looking forward to hearing and learning from you all.
