Hello from Rochester, NY!

[Shawn O'Shea]

Hello BP -

My name is Shawn O'Shea and I am new to REI. Bought my first rental property in October 2013 and am looking to and grow my portfolio. I've done one rehab (my own house) and learned a lot on how to manage that type of effort. I want to buy and flip homes to build capital as well as buy and hold for cash flow and long term. My main goal is to make this my exit strategy from my full time job in information security.

I've been reading this site for weeks and can't stop. Then I downloaded the app and can't put my phone down. This site is terrific and very inspirational.

Eager to start networking with other investors locally in ROC and virtually on BP and pick up my next property. I would like to buy a MFH in the city and a rehab in the next three months. Im new to this type of investing and tips would be greatly appreciated.
