Hello everybody, my name is Vlad, I am a graduate student (last semester). 

I am new to Real Estate Investing, just started reading books (Ultimate Beginners Guide, ABCs of real estate investing, The Book on Rental Property Investing, The Book on Managing Rental Properties), listening to podcasts and going through analyzing the deals on the BP. 

So, I basically know nothing yet. 

BUT, I am a Quantitative Finance major (investment management, risk management, securities evaluation), so I have knowledge in financial modelling, programming, time series analysis. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP WITH MY ECONOMICS, FINANCE, PROGRAMMING AND MATH KNOWLEDGE WHILE LEARNING THE REAL ESTATE INVESTING INSIGHTS.

I want to concentrate in Buy&Hold (multifamily houses) strategy at first, and then probably get into flipping in order to gain capital for future deals. 

Planning to buy first house in 2017 (April - May). 

I am open to any questions and suggestions! Think that BP is a great place to start and learn! 

Good luck to everybody!
