Hi everyone! My name is Musa and I live in North Babylon, NY. I bought my first home as a short sale and fixed it up and currently living in it. Other than that I don't have much experience with real estate investing but would like to learn as much as possible and invest in a property or two in 2015!
I would love to get to know anyone local to me and perhaps work together on some deals.
Thanks!
You found the place to be! You will find no better place to build a solid platform than bigger pockets. The one thing we all agree up on is that we invest in real estate. Beyond that everyone has a different niche!
We love short sales and are actually working on our 5,6, and 7th. We got started as buy and hold investors at 23 with our first primary property. We fixed it up and than rented it out when my husband was transferred. I talk about our strategy and getting started with no money down in podcast 103 :)
We are buy and hold investors who invest in class A properties self-managing from a distance while working full time. So we do work on furthering our careers. We live very frugally allowing us to live off of one income and save the other. We have further our career and used the W2 income to leverage our real estate portfolio.
I highly recommend you also check out- the blogs, forums and listen to the podcasts. If you see a post you enjoy check out the persons signature. As many of us have created resources around our niche (websites, blogs, etc) so checking out the signature is a great to get more information. Make sure you don't miss out on networking is by filling out your signature, profile and pming people with questions.
Look forward to seeing you around! Let me know if I can help! Good luck!!!
