Hello BP community, 

I am so blessed to have been referred this site. I'm currently a solar/renewable energy broker with 6 years experience working in deregulated energy states. I really look forward to becoming a successful RE investor and pairing the two together. The amazing community of this site will be a great help I'm sure. I look to start off by wholesaling, then buying and flipping and eventually purchasing rental properties. I can't wait to engage with many of the great members of BP.

Be Blessed

AJ
