New to Real Estate Investing (Tampa Bay, FL Area)

[Jonathan Drago]

Hello All:

I am new to the real estate investing community in the Tampa Bay area and just signed up with BiggerPockets.com. I am looking to gain further knowledge of the local market, network with other investors, bankers, contractors, etc. to better establish myself and my place in the industry. I have a business partner/investor and we are looking to start purchasing and re-selling real estate inside of 6 months.

I currently work in another industry and my availability is flexible, but transitioning to real estate investing full time has always been my goal. 

I would like to use this forum to introduce myself, and hopefully establish some valuable business relationships, while gaining the knowledge required to be successful. I am excited to join Bigger Pockets and look forward to all that this community has to offer.

Thank you!

Jon
