Newbie from Buffalo, NY

[Connor Smith]

Just wanted to introduce myself as a new member to the forum and get more involved in the discussions on here.

A little about myself... I'm 23 years old, working full time in Buffalo. I have started paying towards the first time home buyers club (not sure if this is a strictly New York state program). Just to give you an overview of what it is if you have not heard of it. It's a program where you pay $187.50/month for a total of 10 months, I'll complete my 10 months in October. Then in October, the government matches my funds 4 to 1, so they give me $7,500 to put towards a down payment. In the meantime I have just been reading as much as possible so as to make the best investment possible when October comes.

My current goal is to have a multi-unit house purchased by December and live in one of the units by the time 2015 is here.
