Hello to BiggerPockets community.
Few years ago I decided to invest part of my lifesaving in real estate. Through work, I came across a broker in Naples, FL who encouraged me and my co-workers to buy condos down there. I blindly bought two properties and to make the story short, both of them finally went into foreclosure last year. I lost most of my lifesavings!!!!
After working for 20 years as a full and part time bookkeeper for different companies, I finally decided to pursue my true passion, real estate. I recently received my real estate salesperson license and joined a brokerage in New York City. I mainly like to get involve in the commercial aspect of real estate but because of my past experience I do not have much confidence in advising other people to invest with me.
By joining BiggerPocket, I hope that I can educate myself and be able to become successful in the field of real estate and investing in it.
