New Investor in Syracuse NY

[Jim Hickel]

Hi everyone,

It's time for my first post to get this real estate thing rolling. I'm 22 from Syracuse, NY. More precisely Auburn. I'm a recent graduate from The University at Buffalo with a degree in mechanical engineering. That probably won't help a ton on the business side but I'm pretty handy.

I've been interested in real estate for years. My parents wanted to get into it a while back but then kids starting going to college and the extra money to get started just wasn't there.

I'm working together with a college friend from my area. He works for a property management company and is picking up a lot about this business.

Right now we are just saving and learning while keeping an eye on some houses and seeing how they are moving. We'd like to pick up a multi-family between Rochester and Syracuse, fix it up as needed and get it rented.

I know there is a lot to learn and I'm very excited to make that first deal.
