New guy from Long Island, NY
What's up everyone!? Im excited about finding this awesome community of like minded people.
I am a 20 year old new investor. I recently received my associates degree in criminal justice from a local community college. I thought I wanted to become a police officer, but in early 2013 a friend of mine introduced me to a network marketing company. I had limited success with that but I do not regret it at all. The self development and wealth building books helped me realized that I am really passionate and interested in real estate. I have a job with the department of sanitation and my hours allow me to have most of the day to do what ever it is I please. Most people just enjoy the free time, but I am determined to get out of this mediocre life. I know it takes time to build wealth through real estate and that is why I am starting early. I have been doing a lot of research and plan on tackling new deals in 2014.
