[Timothy Ryan]

Hello Bigger Pockets Community.  I'm Tim Ryan, 32 years old from East Northport, NY and i'm here to get educated in the world of real estate investing.  I have previously been a licensed agent in Georgia back in 2007-2008 (just starting out) when the market crashed and frankly things were too tight for me to not go back to a 9-5.  I still have my license but it's been inactive for 7 years.  Years back I like many others before me thought real estate investing was a quick way to get rich and I succumb to the late night guru pitches throwing many hard earned dollars at a futile situation.  A little older now, hopefully a little wiser i'm looking to be in it for the long haul.  It's no longer about changing my social status or being the next Donald, I now have a beautiful wife and two beautiful children that i'm looking to provide a great future for.  Ultimately my goal is financial freedom and generational wealth for my family.  This is an exciting step for me, I look forward to connecting with all of you and being an active part of the Bigger Pockets Community.  See you in the neighborhood.
