New to REI from NYC, New York

[Steve A.]

Hi everyone, I'm new to REI. My background is in television production and web production (hey maybe I'll make that work in Real Estate too). My goal is to replace income from a salaried job with real estate investments.

Looking at options. Fix-and-flip, managed vacation properties and buy and hold multi-units (duplex, triplex).

My first experience with REI was at an 'Amway' style meetup (I call it Amway style because it wasn't upfront about the purpose. They wanted $20,000 for the training, then I sell this 20K deal to others too and keep half).   I've lurked on Bigger Pockets a while and love the open, honest helpful group and thought I was overdue to jump in and at least say hello.

I look forward to sharing my experiences as my REI knowledge expands.
