Rookie from Phila, PA

[Lansana Sylla]

Hello everyone,

My name is Lansana and my knowledge about REI can be summed up with two words: VERY LITTLE!

I recently changed careers from financial services to teaching.

My goals? First is to soak up as much info as I possibly can. Second, hopefully within about a year’s time or so, I can decide where I’d like to go with REI.

Ultimately, I’d like to have real estate as a source of income so I can move back overseas. My motivation is a friend of mine I met back in Cuba who is doing pretty well for himself. After hanging out with him last month, I realized that life's pretty good when your major dilemma is how much time you have on your hands when you're financially secure!
