Hey Biggerpockets! My Name is Jocaro Dodd. I have an engineering degree and have worked in the MEP industry for about 4 years. I have some construction experience, but zero real estate experience. My wife and I watch HGTV almost everyday and finally one day I asked myself why am I sitting on the couch watching these shows when I can be doing it? I started my research and I reconnected with an old friend in the Richmond area (that is currently fixing and flipping) who suggested I visit BiggerPockets for more information. Long story short, I recently got a mentor that suggested I start with wholesaling to get some cash and understanding of the business. My first yellow letters should be going out on Monday. I'm really excited about this! I haven't been this excited about something in a while. For me, getting an opportunity to flip houses would be a dream come true. I've wanted to do it since high school. Don't know what took so long to get started. Smh. Thanks to the creators of BiggerPockets and to all that contribute to the wealth of knowledge in this community. I look forward to contributing and networking with you all! Thanks!
