Newbie from Long Island, NY
Hello Bigger Pockets Community. I'm Tim Ryan, 32 years old from East Northport, NY and i'm here to get educated in the world of real estate investing. I have previously been a licensed agent in Georgia back in 2007-2008 (just starting out) when the market crashed and frankly things were too tight for me to not go back to a 9-5. I still have my license but it's been inactive for 7 years. Years back I like many others before me thought real estate investing was a quick way to get rich and I succumb to the late night guru pitches throwing many hard earned dollars at a futile situation. A little older now, hopefully a little wiser i'm looking to be in it for the long haul. It's no longer about changing my social status or being the next Donald, I now have a beautiful wife and two beautiful children that i'm looking to provide a great future for. Ultimately my goal is financial freedom and generational wealth for my family. This is an exciting step for me, I look forward to connecting with all of you and being an active part of the Bigger Pockets Community. See you in the neighborhood.
