Newbie from Fort Worth, Texas

[KaRhonda Bray]

Hi my name is KaRhonda Bray, from Fort Worth, Texas. I am new investor and real estate agent. My areas of interest are Wholesale, Fix and Flip and Buy & Hold but I am constantly open to learn. My heart is for Community Revitalization in distressed communities along with economic development as a Commercial agent. My background previous to real estate was promotional product sales and now I currently own a print design company which helps to brand businesses and non-profits with print material (business cards, brochures, flyers, etc.). Look forward to form new relationships and partnerships here on BP.
