Hey everyone!

My name is Devin Berkani, I'm 21 years old, from Shelby, OH and I just purchased my first single family property at the beginning of this month with my brother and partner through our LLC. We also have a second property under contract and two more multi families under consideration. That's my fiancé, Carrie, and myself in my profile picture.

I'm very excited to be a part of Bigger Pockets.  I have been lurking the forums, reading the blogs, and listening to the podcast for close to a year now and I absolutely love the interviews and information offered through this community.  Although at the beginning of my investing career, I'm ready to start growing my network and meeting/learning from other investors.  

Thanks for taking the time to read my introduction! If anyone is in the Shelby/Mansfield area or in surrounding locations, be sure to connect with me!

    Hi Devin,

    Welcome to Biggerpockets! I have a few investment properties in the Mansfield area as well. Actually just about to close on a single family home this Monday. We'll definitely have to meet up sometime. I have recently started a real estate investment group through Meetup.com You're welcome to join. Our next gathering is this Sunday.

    Look forward to talking with you.

    Rob,

    Thanks for the welcome! Congratulations on your closing.  I'll definitely check you guys out on Meetup.com.  Networking is a huge part of why I joined this community so I couldn't have asked for a better first response, thank you for reaching out! I won't be able to make it this Sunday due to a family birthday event but I will definitely open my calendar for future gatherings.  Looking forward to it as well!

    Cheers,

    Devin

    Welcome to BP! The networking possibilities alone make this sight invaluable. Also, never be afraid to reach out and ask questions on specific blog posts, people are very good at giving responses.
