Helloooo Bigger Pockets!!

[Zack Slanker]

I’m excited to join this amazing community. My name is Meghan, and I’m just starting my journey into real estate investing with big goals and ambitions. My ultimate objective is to build a scalable real estate portfolio and buy 2-3 rental properties in the next 6-12 months. 

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker living in Colorado Springs, CO. I think my skills in mental health counseling and healthcare management are going to be surprisingly relevant to real estate investing (at least I hope so). I’m here to learn, share, and network with like-minded individuals who are also on their path to financial independence.

Looking forward to connecting with you all, learning from your experiences, and sharing my own journey as it unfolds!
