Greetings, BPers,

I'm fairly new to real estate investing, and I recently got the courage to take the plunge on purchasing my first few properties. I'm looking to invest in the Jackson Metro area (preferably Madison, Ridgeland, Brandon, Flowood, Fondren, & Clinton).  

I've learned a ton from BP, and I'm excited to expand my knowledge and connections even more! Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.  If you are an investor or agent near or far, we should connect!

Thanks!

Augustine ;)

    Hello to all my fellow Mississippians!! I'm new to the investing scene. Been on BP almost everyday trying to learn as much as possible. Still trying to figure out the best way to get into it all. I've been thinking about wholesaling to build the revenue to get into rentals. I would love the opportunity to meet and talk with other investors and hopefully buyers in the area. Best of luck to everyone. Look forward to reading many success stories.
