Hi everybody

I am working as a financial auditor in PwC for last 5 years. However, my real interest is in trying my best to make a positive change in the lives of as many people as I can. I haven't achieved this yet, and frankly speaking, I recently realized that working in such a 'wall street' type firm won't take me very close to my goal. 

I believe real estate investing can help me by making me independent in terms of my personal finance needs and providing me time to focus more on my efforts to be a social worker to help communities such as in Pakistan, which is my country of origin. 

I will be accompanied with an amazing lady, my wife Anam, who is an American citizen. She is a Psychologist and helps special needs children.

My research interest is a connection between Internet and Finance such as in Micro-finance websites Kiva.org, Zidisha.org or Motley Fool’s Internet Marketing.

Please message me if you feel our interests are similar. Would love to connect.

Thanks,

Umair

Welcome to BP Umair. REI ultimately allows you to spend your time doing what you want to do (like helping out in Pakistan) instead of trading your time for money to make other people rich. Good luck!
