Hello, My name is Alishia and I am from Eastern, NC. I signed up with Bigger Pockets to increase my market and educate myself more on real estate investing and wholesaling. I have always been interested in Real Estate, however never fully pursued it. I am currently laid off and definitely looking for income so WHY NOT Real Estate!!! Well hope to have learn and cut my first deal soon!!! :)
