A novice in real estate investment from Connecticut

Hi,

This is Edward Yao from Hartford area in Connecticut. I am an actuary currently working in an institutional investment management company. Although I have been working in financial services industry many years, I am a beginner in real estate investment. 

I got interested in this business quite a while ago but never really started. Due to a personal situation, I started to think seriously last year. I have accumulated some cash that has been sitting in the bank, so I used it to buy two apartments as rental properties. I have an agent helping me but so far there has not been much progress. That is the immediate problem I want to solve. 

A few weeks ago, I got a post card from my mail for a real estate investment seminar. I went to the seminar, which raised my interest tremendously. I am a single dad with three kids. I have always wanted to spend more time with my family. So I have an idea of using real estate investment to retire myself from my current job. I came across BiggerPockets from online research and so here I am.

 Certainly I  want to network and find good partners, leads to good deals, knowledge and advice for me to avoid mistakes, and so on. Lastly but not least, I would like to get more friends as well who have common interest.

Thanks.

Ed
