Fresh Blood in New England

[Sophia Krishnaswami]

Hi there!

My name is Sophia Krishnaswami. I am a 22 year old newlywed who knows nothing about investing but wants to get started early. I've thought about real estate before but never committed to pursuing it. My hopes is that this site will give me a good start on where to go and even if this is a good fit for me. I graduated from a trade school last year for Piano Technology. I am currently running my own business where I service pianos at various types of venues and homes. Since it is in it's first year, it hasn't had much time to pick up business. I am grateful I am able to cover my bills, and I do enjoy the work a whole lot, but it's just not quite enough to get ahead, at least not right now. Now that I am married, my wife wants us to get on trying to buy a house while at the same time enjoying the world in our youth. This is the goal.

My wife and I love house flipping shows, have been intrigued by the tiny house movement. House flipping and general real estate is so interesting to me. I LOVE seeing all sorts of dwellings and learning about the people who buy, sell, and inhabit them. Real estate seems rewarding in more than just the pocket, it's an interest of mine.

I truly hope this site will help point me in the right direction and gain the confidence to act on investments. Since I am just starting out, I simply don't have much money at all (especially since I am now paying off a wedding and honeymoon, not to mention student loans). Thank you all for welcoming me into the community, and thanks in advance for you advice, encouragement, and for sharing your stories of success!
