Hello, my name is Amy and I'm new to Bigger Pockets and the world of real estate. I'm excited to get involved in the Bigger Pockets community, I've been reading through the articles and forums over the past few weeks, there's some great information and resources here!

I wanted to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about my goals. I'm looking to generate some passive income and long term wealth through buy and hold investment properties. Right now I'm trying to learn as much as I can and buy my first investment property. Since I live in NYC, I can't afford to invest in my local area, even if I could, the numbers don't make sense! Turnkey properties out if state in growing cities seem to make the most sense to me. If I could find properties close enough to NYC to try to mange myself I would be game for that idea as well! I would like to start with two or three properties and grow from there. Any help navigating this terrain would be much appreciated! I've also enrolled in a real estate licensing course in an effort to learn more about the business.

This website seems like a great place to share ideas and network with others who have similar goals, I'm looking forward to engaging with all of you! There is so much information out there, it all seems a bit overwhelming and intimidating right now, but I'm confident that real estate investing is the smartest way I can invest in my future financial success!
