New kid on the block in Western NY

[Account Closed]

Hi everyone! I am a new member on BiggerPockets and I am eager and excited to begin immersing myself in all things real estate. My family owned various rental properties as I grew up so I had first hand experience with some of the highs and lows of real estate investing from an early age. I got my "official" start in the market just this year when I purchased my first two rentals. I have known for quite some time that I wanted to become an investor but had to first build up the funds and courage to enter the market. I did get my real estate license about a year ago in an attempt to begin my education in real estate and investing. I do have a full time job working as a Sales Consultant in good ol' corporate America but look forward to the day that I can hang up my "9-5 corporate hat" and focus on real estate investing full time. I hope to get into a fix and flip in the near future so any advice in that arena is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for you time and shared knowledge!
