Just Getting Started from Long Island

[Brian Bartalomy]

Hi BP! My name is Brian and I have been lurking around for a few weeks now, researching and gaining as much knowledge as possible. I am looking to pursue REI in the future but now am just trying to educate myself. I'm limited in my knowledge on real estate but am learning more each day.

I am notorious for becoming interested in something, researching until I am pretty confident in my knowledge, creating a plan and then doing nothing.  I am hoping that by putting myself out here and becoming more immersed in this fantastic community that I will actual follow through.  I'm determined to go from "observer" to "investor"!

I appreciate any advice as far as resources, reads or other sources I can use to build my foundation.  Thanks in advance for everything.  I look forward to being a contributing member.

@Steve Kontos  Thanks for the recommendations!  I've been listening to the podcasts and am currently reading "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor".  I'll be a little tentative about the networking events until I get confident in my background knowledge but I'll definitely pursue them as I grow.

Thanks for reaching out!
