Hello BP Members,

Let me start off by saying what a terrific site! The abundance of information available here is outstanding.

My name is Will Rogers and I am new to the real estate investing business. I am in the process of starting my own house flipping business with a team that includes a soon to be licensed realtor and a general contractor. My short term goals are to flip numerous properties so I can move into more mid and long term goals of property management. I wanted to introduce myself and my goals to see if anyone may have advice as I begin a new chapter in my life.

Thank you all in advance.

Will Rogers
