Newbie from Omaha, Nebraska

[Naima Haroon]

Hi all,

My name is Naima Haroon and I have been living in Omaha, Nebraska for the past 12 years. I have always had a zest for Real Estate investing but never had the time until now. Came across this website and am thrilled to have such a goldmine of information at my disposal. I have no real estate experience other then building and owning a home here in Omaha. I am an avid learner and am looking forward to getting my feet wet soon. I would appreciate any help I can get and would love to reciprocate with however little knowledge I have. Can't wait to start rehabbing and flipping soon.

Thanks.
