Hi All!
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I just signed up for Bigger Pockets and wanted to introduce myself to the community. I currently reside in NJ and looking into real estate investing in Orlando, Florida. I am also planning to relocate to Florida within a year. I am a "CPA" (pending license), my background includes tax/accounting for Private Equity and Hedge funds. I am looking to create multiple sources of income, which would include real estate investing, and network with like minded people. I am very excited about joining this community. I am open to learning about this industry and would want to provide value in return for expertise and knowledge.

Hi Anastasia:
Welcome! Perfect timing! I am also new to BP and I am in the Tampa Bay market. Hopefully we can learn and come up to be monumental in this industry together. Every investor needs a good CPA, so it will be very beneficial to have that in your artillery once you are licensed. When do you expect to be fully licensed?

Orlando is a great place to do deals or own rentals. Using self directed retirement accounts is a growing niche for investors I can only imagine that it is a hot niche for a CPA. I am and a investor and agent in Orlando who likes to talk about real estate so feel free to connect with me I would love to have you in my network.

@Anastasia G.
Welcome to Bigger Pockets. BP is full of resources. You will find resources here from blogs to pod casts and forums. You can also send messages to members which is my favorite part of the website.

Welcome Anastasia!
Enjoy the sunny weather down there in FL! My advice is to get started, don't let the fear of the unknown scare you. I'm learning a lot along the way, have those who are investor-friendly/investor-focused.
