Hi! My name is Justina Owens.  I am looking to start out my real estate investing career. My fiancee and I have been talking about doing this for a while but we're not sure where to start.  We were so thrilled to find BiggerPockets! This community is unique and helpful. Right now, I am trying to get a wealth of knowledge and find a mentor to help get us started.  My goal with real estate investing is mainly time freedom, but also so I can quit my J.O.B.  I would love to quit my job sometime in December this year. It's ambitious but I can do anything I put my mind to!
