Total newbie from Miami, FL

[Maykol Au]

Hello BP family!

After lurking the site for quite some time and trying to learn as much as I can by reading up on many out of the gazillion posts/threads on PB, I finally decided to introduce myself.

My name is Maykol Au, a fellow Miamian (if that is even a thing?). I am 24 years old and a CPA, currently employed by one of the big accounting firms, mostly specializing in international and federal taxes.

I have always been interested in investing; whether through stocks, ETF's, mutual funds, etc. However, it was not until maybe a year ago that I ran into real estate investing and began reading blog posts, books, listening to podcasts, etc.

Even though I have been studying RE for quite some time I am still a complete newbie, looking to hopefully secure my first property in 2018. Yes, this is my new years resolution!

BP has definitely kept me extremely motivated and focused to embark on this journey as many of you share your experiences and knowledge.

With that being said, I just want to leave everyone with a warm hello - I look forward to contributing to the community and networking with many of you!
