Newbie from Westchester County, NY

[Jordan Solomon]

Hi everyone! My name is Jordan, and I am from Westchester County, NY -- the county directly north of New York City for those who don't know.

I am very excited about the possibility of getting involved with (and hopefully profiting from) real estate investing, but like so many who attempt to venture into this field, feel a bit intimidated as well. 

I understand that an area like the suburbs of New York City might present some unique challenges  (the middle p. 64 of "The Book on Flipping Houses" was a bit discouraging for me), so what I'm hoping to get out of Bigger Pockets is the opportunity to meet and hopefully compare notes with others in my area facing those challenges. And, of course, to receive information and advice on real estate investing in general from actual investors (as opposed to the motivational hype and sales pitches you find in most books). 

Therefore, I look forward to communicating with many of you and hope that my presence on this site proves to be mutually beneficial. Thank you!
