New From Southeastern CT

[Jim Lally]

Hello! My name is Jim and I'm from a little town called East Lyme CT (about half way between Boston and New York) on the CT coastline. I've lived in this area for the past 20 years so I'm pretty familiar with the overall housing market here. I've been busy educating myself about RE investing for the past several months and believe that BP is one of the best sites out there for the wealth of information available (love the podcasts!). I will also be joining my local REIA as I feel that could be very valuable to a new investor. A little more about me, I am a retired navy veteran (submarine service) and have about 14 years experience in the accounting/finance field. I feel this experience could be useful in terms of analyzing deals. My current goal is to possibly start out wholesaling then eventually purchase SFH or multiplex properties. I actually do property mgmt for a small condo complex in the area so I have some exposure to that aspect of RE investing. I may also pursue my RE license. I'm very excited to be here and look forward to exchanging ideas and learning from all of you! Jim
