New to Real Estate, can't wait!
Hello everyone. As the subject states I am finally jumping into real estate in the Southern New England area! I am born and raised in Rhode Island, and real estate has been something I have always aspired to be involved in. Until now, I never felt like I knew were to start. Like many, I found out about wholesaling and really love the concept. I have been doing nothing but research since the moment I heard about it. I am literally a sponge. I have the drive. My goals are to eventually use wholesaling to fund a fix and flip operation and try to grow from there. I have interest in flipping, wholesaling and STR (though I haven't done much research yet in STR).
As a 21-year Army National Guard Veteran, I welcome the challenges that lie ahead! I am ready to get those one thousand "Nos" to get to that one "Yes" and build off of it. I currently have a great work-from-home job that offers amazing work/life balance and pays the bills. So I am not in a rush to leave it, but I am hoping to leverage that work/life balance to help grow a real estate business.
I am looking forward to getting to know some of you and am excited for the journey forward!

Thank you @Anthony Thompson. I have seen you around bigger pockets in the comments and I've been trying to absorb a lot of what you have to say. Your advice for people has been great to read. Thank you for your support to the rookies in the community. I have a feeling the Army is easier then real estate haha.
