Greetings From Alaska

[Moises Ascencion]

Greetings everyone,

My name is Moses and I have been living in AK for almost two years, over the course of these two years I have contemplated whether or not to get in to REI, but now I am committed. I am new to this industry and hope to gain many useful information from this site, other investors and life experiences.

I have always been interested in RE and know its potential but have had a hard time convincing my wife as well as my self to take the risk and jump in to this new world and build a career that will provide a safe lifestyle.

Just like many of you, I am tired of working and feeling like i haven't reached a goal that would set me and my family on a nice secured lifestyle. I am devoted on becoming a great investor and meet amazing people along the way. I know there are others in Anchorage who are active and hopefully would like to meet and greet.

I hope everyone is doing great and look forward to this new journey. Biggerpockets.com has unlimited amount of information in forums, podcasts, etc.. that can really set someone up for success. Again, hope to meet some of you local investors.

Take Care,

Moses

Hello Moises. You came to the right place! I'm a buy/fix and hold investor in the Bay in CA. But you'll find a variety of all strategies here on the website. A few tips on the website and on meeting some fellow investors:

Search for local meetups here or google a local REI club to network with other investors. On the site, the "Learn" link across the top navigation bar has lots of great info, and so do the forums. You can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name when it pops up at the bottom of the message box. You can click on the 'vote' button if you like someone's post or is helpful, and there are 'awards' to earn on your profile. Good luck on everything!
