Hello BiggerPockets members,

I'm happy to join such a large community of like minded investors. I haven't yet ventured into my first investment property but I've been reading up and researching properties in my area based on what I'm learning. I was born and raised in southern CT and I think I have a good idea of what's what in the area and hope that will be an asset to me in local real estate.

I currently work 9-5 as an engineer at a small design and consulting firm and I'm looking to enter into the real estate market on the side (for now!). I'm gearing up to make my first purchase and I think that my best move right will be to find a 2-3 bed room single family that I can live in personally and rent out the additional rooms. I enjoy learning and I'm fascinated with making good investments for not only myself, but also for the community around me.  

I look forward to getting acquainted with the forum and learning from the seasoned members and eventually contributing my knowledge as I move forward. If you happen to be in the southern CT area as well, I'm always looking to connect with new people and I look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,

Michael
