Brand New And Wet Behind The Ears!!

[Kwan Howard]

Hello everyone my name is Kwan I live in New Orleans. I'm brand new to Real Estate Investing. I stumbled upon Bigger Pockets one day while cruising the web for credible advice for newbies! I've been listening to the podcast for last couple of days and liked it so much I had to get involved here on the forum.

I'm really hoping to build some solid relationships, add to value to community how ever I can and am eager for any nuggets of advice any investing vets are willing to share with a newbie!

Cheers!
