New to BP and novice real estate investor moving to New York City

[Steve Buchanan]

Hey everyone. I'm really excited about joining the BP family.

Just to give a little background info about myself, I've been a professional poker player for many years now and have been living abroad to play online poker for the past 3 years (Sydney, Australia for the last 2). I'll be getting married next year and moving back to the states and therefore ending playing poker as a full time professional.

Real estate investing is my new passion and I've spent much of this last year reading, researching, and talking to others about it. As far as my experience goes, I own a townhouse that I rent to students in my former college town since I graduated in 08. I'm excited to soak up as much as I can and hopefully get the ball rolling.

New York City is the place I'll be heading to in April 2014. Are there people having success there? If so, what type of deals are they doing? I know it's a really expensive and competitive market.

I'm looking forward to getting to know many of you.
