Hi Erin! Don't be discouraged. You will get there! You just have to believe. If sales and networking aren't your strong suit, then figure out what it is that you can bring to the table. Are you good at analyzing and finding deals? Perhaps you're creative and good with your hands? Everyone is good at something. I know networking can seem daunting. How about just starting by talking more on the forums and getting acquainted with people online? I know things are a lot less intimidating for me when I can do it with some time to gather my thoughts! Good luck.

Hi, Raul! Thanks for your message. I actually did purchase this book not too long ago and it is on my To-Read list. I love @David Greene He's so inspiring. As far as REI, I would really like to get into buy and hold, and since I do not have much capital, am looking to acquire properties using the BRRRR method. ^_^

Thanks so much, Basit. This was extremely informative. It's good to know that I am on the right track! Do you have any recommendations as to which areas I should be focusing on?  

Thanks, Frank! This is something I am trying to figure out now as a person who does not have much capital, but is willing to put in sweat equity and contribute however else I can.

 I have been struggling to find a cash-flow-positive place in Queens for the longest! It seems almost impossible with any of these Coops and the houses are just so expensive. Would love to know the answer to this as well! T_T

Following! This is something that I am curious about as well. Have heard about the BRRRR method a bunch from listening to all the BP podcasts about it, but would love to learn more about the actual execution of it and the timeline.

It took me a bunch of lurking and listening to BP podcasts every day for months until I finally decided to bite the bullet and make an account. My biggest hesitations were that I had no savings and that I lived in an expensive market (NYC) which, in my mind, was a double whammy. But everyone has to start somewhere, right?

Hello! My name is Jane. :) I'm from Queens, NYC and have been listening to the BP podcasts for a few months now. I've been meaning to join the forums for a while too, but finally decided that now was the time to suck it up and get over my "analysis paralysis." I am on the road to saving up $30K by the end of this year, which is not much here in NYC, but I would like to buy my first property outside of the area and follow the footsteps of the many others who have gone down the long-distance real estate investing path. Any tips would be appreciated! Thank you and looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Howdy! I'm also from Queens and new to Bigger Pockets. Glad that we are in this adventure together! "Queens gets the money!" as they say haha. Best of luck! :)
