Hey folks,

I'm Mussa and I'm a newbie....... (Audience says: Heeey Mussa ....)

Okay. So I'm one those who borrow/buy more books than they can ever read. I read everything from algorithms, creative thinking, willpower and self compassion, entrepreneurship etc etc.

The point in time when I decided to enter real estate investing was when I was listening to a BiggerPockets podcast with Karen. She said something along the lines of 'you are going to be busy with something, you might as well be busy with real estate'. That was a big aha moment for me. I thought, heeey, I read a lot anyway, why not read about real estate investing!

So, here I am. I am just starting out. I have absolutely no experience in real estate investing whatsoever. In my day job, I am a software developer. I also work on designing maintainable software and ensuring it meets user needs.

I am presently reading the Ultimate Beginners Guide to get my feet wet.

Seriously, hats off to biggerpockets and everyone helping others out.

I am looking forward to learning from and contributing to this community.

Thanks!

M
