New Member from Minneapolis, MN
Greetings!
My name is Elmer Lee and I'm a newbie real estate investor here in Minneapolis, MN. I dabbled in real estate investing a few years back as a landlord of single family residences. I currently work full time as a bus driver but have always wanted to do real estate full time. My goals in real estate are to become more educated in real estate investing grow my property portfolio so that I can spend more time with my family.
I searched to see where I could network with likeminded people and found BiggerPockets. The wealth of information that is shared here is sure to help every member become successful!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I hope to do the same for you and look forward to Networking!
