Newbie here, first post
Hello BP,
I am pretty new to the REI world and am in the process of learning as much as I can about the industry. I just graduated college about a year ago with a Finance degree. I'm currently working as a Financial Analyst in the Municipal Bond Market. I would like to find an analyst job with a REI firm, which I feel would be beneficial to my future REI career. Thoughts?
I am currently living with my parents to save up some money to buy my first property. My beginning strategy is to find a distressed property, live in it for around a year or so while I fix it up, then either sell it or rent it out. I feel like it would be a great way to handle my first deal, since I could take my time with it and would learn a lot of hands on experience. What do you guys think about that?
I'm very happy I found this community and plan on being pretty active within the forum.
