Hello BP Community: I'm Katrina and currently live just 20 mins. away from Richmond in Henrico county. I have wanted to learn about Real Estate Investing for quite some time and never really knew how to start until I listened to the interview with Joshua on EM. Great Interview by the way, Joshua! I am an absolute beginner with only H..TV under my belt and am looking forward to learning and being a part of this community.
