Hi all.  I'm really excited to be taking the first steps on my real estate journey. I've had a keen interest in real estate from an early age but went the conventional route through life, ultimately getting a PhD last year. I did however buy and sell two primary residences along the way, both at a profit, and both in the UK. So now I want to take this seriously here in the USA and start generating a revenue stream for my recently expanded family ( I gave birth to a baby girl last August). I'd like to think I'm smart enough to make this happen (although currently feel very overwhelmed) and I definitely have the work ethos. I thrive on pressure and can multitask like you wouldn't believe! I'm currently working my way through the podcasts one by one in between baby naps and bedtime! I just moved to Brooklyn, NY and am likely going to start my search in the bay ridge area for properties suitable for flipping. And because I apparently love to study, I am going to get my real estate license as soon as I can. So I'll be studying for that, driving for dollars with my husband (looking around when stuck at traffic lights every 10 yards) and (in addition to the podcasts) reading what every real estate investor needs to know about cash flow). I guess I'm in the learning phase. My husband and I would ideally like to have flipped at least one property by the end of the year.. Right now I feel like there is a huge way to go...
