Hello from Rochester NY

[Dustin Kester]

Hi Everyone!

My name is Dustin Kester, and I am interested in getting started in real estate investing. This site is incredible and has a ton of great resources, which I have already thrown myself into. Although I am still in the education phase of this journey, I definitely see myself being into buy/hold of multi-family properties. I look forward to getting to know people here, I have been lurking for a bit now and I must say there is a wealth of knowledge here!

I originally moved to Rochester to attend RIT. I graduated with a degree in Computer Science and entered the workforce. Being a working stiff pays the bills, but I am interested in real estate because I definitely don't want to work forever. I love the financial independence and freedom that real estate investing can offer long term.
