Hi!
My name is Eleena and after almost two years of lurking, I've decided to finally create a user profile on this site.
I've attended real estate boot camps and webinars, joined the local REIA, read the books, listened to the Bigger Pockets and other RE podcasts, etc. Now it's time for me to finally take action.
Why the delay? Well, in 2012, I got hit with a series of unexpected, back-to-back major expenses related to my primary residence and that ate up a lot of my time, attention and capital to fix. I was so wiped out after that experience I needed 2013 to take a breather. Anyway, that's now in the past, and I want to make sure 2014 doesn't turn into the Year of Analysis Paralysis for me.
Experience
Other than (successfully) renting out a Brooklyn condo for a year that I was wise enough to have bought in a neighborhood just before it gentrified (NYC real estate appreciation is a beautiful thing), I have very little hands on real estate investing experience. I'd like to change that in 2014 and acquire 1 to 2 properties this year.
Real Estate Goals
To have financial freedom in 5 years through monthly cash flow generated by my properties. I have an exact $$ figure in mind, but I'll keep that to myself.
In terms of my real estate interests I'm most interested in multi-family, private money lending and buying notes.
Looking forward to getting to know more people in this robust online community and contributing to the Bigger Pockets community wherever I can. Thank you.
