REI pro..er uhm.. newbie based in York, Pennsylvania

[Dominic Jones]

Greetings World and Realm of Bigger Pockets!

I'm very excited that I've found this place. I'm not even exactly sure how I found it, and I only came across it just two weeks ago. I hope that I hit some people's keywords by mentioning that I'm currently living in the south east region of Pennsylvania; however, I'm originally from Baltimore, Maryland.

About Me: The names Dominic Jones, I grew up in Baltimore, MD and moved out of my first and only house at the time at 19, a year after moving away to PA to attend college at Penn State University. I graduated with my B.A. in English and a certificate in IT. I'm currently working full-time as an IT professional and will be getting my Teaching English as a Second Language certificate at the end of may when I finish the course that starts March 2nd. 

I not only plan on teaching overseas but also plan on investing overseas as well. I won't be moving until sometime in 2016 so I want to start learning as much as I can now to be in a better position to invest not only here in my back yard but all around the world throughout my travels.

My goals for REI: are currently to get my first deal done using the methodology of creative financing by the end of 2015. I listened to the podcast with Grant Cardone and 10x'ed that goal to get 10 deals done by the end of 2015 with creative financing. 

I want to be another no-money or little money-down success story and be able to help others out as I get further and further along in my career. What drives me is that I was born with sickle cell anemia and people born with this blood disease are statistically known to have a shorter lifespan on average. So I'm doing everything I can as early as I can (I'm only 24) to make the best out of my life and for my family.

In the long-run I would love to be the first ever millionaire with sickle cell anemia and the biggest philanthropist for the disease.

P.S.

Sorry for the long intro. My passion is writing so I tend to give a bunch of details!

Look forward to working with, learning from and connecting with many of you!
