Full time NYC firefighter & emergency room RN just starting out!

Hey guys - I'm thrilled that I found this website and I'm quite astonished at all the information that it has to offer! I am currently a full time NYC firefighter (14 yrs on the job with possible retirement in 6 yrs) and per diem ER RN (7 yrs) looking to get into REI by buying and renting out properties for long term wealth generation. I love being a FF and a RN but I am getting a little sad of being away from my 3 girls for so many hours each week "punching the clock". I've always wanted to get into real estate but now I feel that I am ready. I've cleaned out the local library of all the REI books that I could and I am trying to educate myself.

I am looking to get into the market in a few areas: Shoreline area of Connecticut and Long Island.  But I am open to anything at this point.  My goal in the beginning is to hook up with an experienced investor at some point to see how this works. I am no stranger to hard work and I look forward to launching this new career!
