Motivated freshman in Real Estate!

[Ally Abubakar]

Hi guys- My name is Ally, 27 years old from Brooklyn NY. I graduated from college in 2014 with BA in Economics, did consulting jobs for banks for 2 years plus my previous internships (total 4 years experience). Recently, my consulting contract ended and decided to take sometime off. On my time off, I was contemplating on finding my niche and do something that will make me happy for the rest of my life. I went and took my RE license (RE has always been a passion of mine), I applied for a job and last week I started working as an agent for RE broker in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I did this because I thought, this is a good way to transition my self into RE and learning the stuff while targeting for my future goal- which is to go into investing, specifically fix and flip. My question is, am I on the right track? What can I do more to reach my goal? And what's the best way to network with like minded individuals in NYC. Any advice is much appreciated, thank you in advance. Ally

Fix and flip is a good shorter term goal but you may want to consider buy and hold for longer term passive income. Regarding connecting with other investors, there should be BP meetups somewhere around New York. In addition you should look for REA meetings of local investors.
