Greetings from New York, NY

[Brian Charles]

Hey all,

I’m Brian, a new investor from NYC. I originally found bigger pockets years ago. I scoured these forums for months, listened to dozens of the BP podcasts, but unfortunately (fortunately?) life picked up shortly thereafter which pulled me away.

Since then I’ve been working in tech in NYC (IIoT / predictive mechanical diagnostics), and have recently decided to step back up to this challenge.

I love NY, but don't see it as a realistic jump off point for my REI ventures. My goal is to continue learning about OOS buy and hold rental investing, ideally, utilizing BRRR to help accelerate growth. I recently finished David Greene's "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" which has brought a lot of confidence in where to go from here. My near-term goal is to acquire my first property before the end of the year.

Looking forward to becoming more involved on the forums. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect in NYC or remotely.
