Aloha! Megan from Hawaii!

My name is Megan, and I'm originally from Hawaii. Island got a bit small for me, so I moved out to the NJ/NYC area last August to "start all over". I'm a year out of college with a BS (Finance) degree. I haven't found a job yet though, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Real Estate have always been something of an interest to me, I just haven't acted on it. I've been more interested in it recently because when I jog around the neighborhood, I see so many houses for sale! So I'm here to learn from the pros. Hopefully, in the long run, I'll be able to successfully flip a house or actually sell property. I'll go back to Hawaii in the future and become a real estate mogul...who knows?

Oh, and I'm also here to network. Since I'm new to the area, I have no one to talk to!

See you all in the forums!
~Meg

LOL. I noticed that too, but my curiosity hasn't got the best of me yet.

Hey Meg,

Welcome to Biggerpockets! I went through much of what you are experiencing now. Made a big move in my life after graduating college two years ago to start over. I am in Philadelphia now, and was having difficulty finding a job with a Finance degree as well. Its a tough job market right now. Best of luck to you!

welcome meg. I too am an auditor, and work at night for a certain hotel. We are not supposed to be on the internet while working guys, so you could call me a

naughtynightauditor.

Keep it clean, keep it clean.
