Introduction and advice seeking
Hi BP community!
I thought after saying hello to everyone and getting basic knowledge about RE it's time to start acting on that. I'm very excited because I know this is career and path I want to take. I did connect to few people on here and going to meet them in person as well soon. Also, I read a lot of threads here, blogs, listened to a webinar, going to 2 seminars this week. So far I'm investing 3-4 hours a day into this and I want to do even more, weekends included. My financial situation is good, meaning I have my financials under control and I save over $500 monthly but I don't have a lot saved as I'm an immigrant in this country and it took me few years to bring everything under control. I think it's important to mention that I live in NYC and aware of markets here so looking to invest states all around NY state. Getting a car soon to help me in that task. I'm eager to start now and be successful, what advice you give me?
Thank you in advance for your replies!
