Newbie from New York

[Kyle Burrows]

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie living in Brooklyn who is really interested in real estate investing and everything that comes with it. I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself and say thank you to everyone at Bigger Pockets for all the great information that they have shared with the community. 

I'm only just starting out, trying to learn as much as I can and, to be honest, all the information is a little overwhelming. I have never done anything like this before and I do have that fear that I guess all newbies have, but I know that I'm willing to do whatever I can to be successful at this. 

I've been listening to the podcasts, reading the blog and browsing the forums and all the information here has really helped give me confidence to take that leap. I would love to connect with other, more experienced investors that I can learn from along my journey but for now I just wanted to say thank you to those who put this all together.

Hey Kyle! I'm a residential real estate appraiser and aspiring investor in NYC. Always looking to network and help local investors and real estate professionals :) I would say invest in your education first which I applaud you for doing. Don't be in a rush to buy anything. Also if you're serious about wholesaling be sure to work with a CPA because each wholesale deal is a big tax event. I wish you the best on your investing journey! :)
