My realtor turned me onto Bigger Pockets. We should be under contract on a duplex today. Looking forward to being back in the investment property sphere.
Happy to connect with anyone in the area.
This is mainly a supplemental income stream for my family. I work in IT and don’t have immediate plans to leave this line of work.
