Corporate refugee (tech). Excited to get started.

[Matthew Samson]

Hi All. I quit my job in tech a couple of months ago and I'm excited to pivot into real estate investing.  I know a lot of people on BiggerPockets talk about real estate investing as a means to an end, but I'm think I might also just really enjoy the strategy, execution, and hands-on work involved. Right now my head is swimming with all this new content, but I'm optimistic that things will eventually slow down. I'd love to connect and really build a community here on the platform.
