Rookie. Again! Long Island, New York

[Harry Mikros]

Hi All,

My name is Harry Mikros. First, I'd like to say thank you to everyone for making this site awesome. Like many here, I found the BP site by chance...what a score!!! 

In my 50 years I've worn many different hats. For twenty of those years, I wore the hat of a NYC police officer (retired). My current hat, since 2009, is that of a NYS home inspector. I have 15 years experience in construction/home improvements. I've owned a few start up businesses in the past but was never able to take them to the next level due to my law enforcement commitment.

I enjoy doing home inspections and anything to do with real estate. I've had a few opportunities in the past to purchase property but due to a lack of time, knowledge, and/or funds, I could not commit. Now that I'm free of my "regular job" I have more time to work on my real estate business/goals... 

My goals: 

• Get my RE license, learn the ins and outs of RE law, learn my market
• Gain the wisdom of the RE business.
• Learn the many ways to finance and find lenders
• Learn how to find and make deals
• Find my niche and have a back up plan  
• Buy my first property ^^see above^^
• Purchase multiplex units that produce a nice monthly cash flow

I enjoy a great cup of coffee and/or a nice cigar. If anyone would like to meet up and talk some real estate, give me a shout.

Thank you and be safe!

Harry Mikros
