Hello from San Antonio!

[Joshua Rowan]

Hi All,

My wife and I have recently joined the BiggerPockets Pro community because it's our goal to acquire the knowledge this year to begin our real estate investment portfolio. 

I'm just getting started with exploring the BiggerPockets site, and while I'm excited to see all of these tools, I'm also a little overwhelmed with where to start. Any advice about how best to get the most out of this site would be super appreciated! 

Very excited to join this community and I look forward to connecting with many of you over the coming years.

Happy New Year All!

Josh and Esmy Rowan
