Reintroduction and Starting Out

[David Raider]

Hello (again)!

Like too many people, I opened an account awhile back, introduced myself and promptly disappeared into the ether. 

So, I thought I'd start over, especially since my plans have drastically changed since my first post.

Come 12/1/2018, I'll be moving from Manhattan to Bisbee, AZ, a small town of roughly 5,500 people located 90 miles south of Tuscon and six miles north of the Mexican border. It's flanked by Sierra Vista and Douglas.

Bisbee is an old, historic mining town with its fair share of dilapidated homes; homes I'd love to return to their former glory as I used to renovate houses as a way of helping to put myself through law school. I'm also hoping to become very much involved with note investing and am considering Airbnbing a place or two as Bisbee is something of a tourist destination with a pretty poor selection of hotels.

Some questions for anyone willing to answer ...

Would it be worthwhile to sit for the Arizona bar exam (I can't waive in)?

Should I wait until I move to purchase my first note or simply get started now while working full-time?

Do I reach out to someone in NYC to maybe help walk me through the note-purchasing process knowing that I'm leaving in a few months?

Any advice is welcome. Please do not feel limited to these questions.

Thanks for reading and enjoy your Sundays. 

Best, 

Dave
