New Member from St. Kitts in the Caribbean

[Amicia Mussenden]

Hi everyone,

I'm Amicia and I am from the island of St. Kitts in the Caribbean.  I also have links to Dutchess County in New York, which I'm hoping to capitalize on as I start my real estate investing journey.

I studied Economics at the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies and at LSU in Louisiana.  Presently I am an Economist working for the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis.  I am also studying direct response copywriting and web copywriting and have a special interest in lead generation, email and autoresponder writing.  

I found the Bigger Pockets community while doing research on real estate investing.  I've found the information and advice presented in the forums, blogs and podcasts to be very useful, especially for me as someone just getting started in real estate investing.  

I am here to learn as much as I can about REI and to network with fellow investors. My interests are wholesaling (especially virtual wholesaling since I am not physically located in the US) and buy and hold (small multi-family units). I've also been recently introduced to tax liens and real estate notes and have an interest in these as well.

I'm looking forward to building solid friendships, expanding my real estate knowledge and experience and to finally getting involved in doing real estate deals.

Thank you all for the warm welcome to BP.  I am really enjoying reading though all the information that fellow BPers have shared.  

@Ryan Huebinger  It's a a small world indeed. I remember the IWC meeting here in St. Kitts and all the activity surrounding it. Cockleshell Bay is a great location for romance.  I'm glad you were able to get engaged there.  Let me know if you are ever on island again.

@Russell Ponce  Thanks for the advice about focusing on a single strategy. My intention is to focus on wholesaling starting out and to use it to generate cash that I can use to buy some duplexes/triplexes/quads or perhaps a small apartment building to generate cash flow later on.  I will definitely check out Chris Chico and listen to the podcast.

@Charmaine M. Always a pleasure linking up with a fellow West Indian. Best wishes in your REI endeavours.

@Dmitriy Fomichenko I'm so glad I found BP. It's such a great REI resource. The best I've found thus far. Thanks for the reminder about keyword alerts. I've set some up already.

@Mark Perry  Thankfully Berta didn't pay us much attention.  Wind speed picked up and there was some rain, that's about it.  How's the TCI?

@Colleen F.  It's always good to meet others who know about St. Kitts.  Glad that you have fond memories of your time here. Any plans to visit any time soon?

I'm looking forward to interacting with the BP community.
