New to BiggerPockets

[Pragati Soni]

Hello All,

My name is Pragati Soni and I am currently a Senior Financial Analyst in the Atlanta area. I recently joined BiggerPockets in the hopes of learning more about real estate investing. I have been listening to the podcasts during my commute and they are so full of great information. Honestly, I was surprised that all of this information is free and grateful that I had found a community that I could learn from. 

My current focus is to continue to increase my real estate knowledge through BiggerPockets forums and podcasts. I also would like to grow my network within the real estate community and have a mentor guide me.  I know there are a number of real estate events in Atlanta so if anyone has suggestions I would really appreciate it. 

I am excited to have joined this forum and I am looking forward to building relationships with many wonderful people on this site!

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
