I've been listening to the podcast and really think there is some opportunity in the next 5 years in my local market here in San Pedro. I am excited to join the community and share my thoughts! I am a 27 year old photographer and film maker. I have been able to put away some money this year and hope to find a good investment to help my money grow and have steady future income for my family. Im looking to BiggerPockets to learn the ways of real estate investing, be smart with my savings, and invest it in the right deals. Real estate is something I have been interested in for my entire life. My dad was an investor and now I am eager to take action and get into the market myself. I plan to use BiggerPockets as a place I can share ideas, find/share opportunity, and collaborate with like-minded people.
