Newbie from central New Jersey

[Wendy Bykowicz]

Hello BP! My name is Wendy, and I am a newbie looking to break into the world of rehabbing, and eventually other facets of investing. I currently work full time in NYC as an art director for an ad agency, but in my free time I have been immersing myself in the world of REI...reading as many books as I can and listening to a lot of the podcasts here on BP. I am a designer at heart, and hope that combined with my passion for real estate, I may someday be a successful niche residential redeveloper.

Since I am a mere grasshopper, I would love to find an experienced investor who I can learn from. I can help with design, staging, cleaning, organizing, whatever! I am eager and willing to work for hands-on knowledge and experience. 

My biggest challenge right now is my current schedule...I commute to NYC from NJ M-F, which doesn't leave much time for starting a new career. Trying to find that fine line...any advice on that would be much appreciated!
