New Member Introduction

[Angela Comis]

Hey Everyone,

My name is Angie Comis and I am new to the BiggerPockets community, so I would like to introduce myself. I am originally from North Potomac, MD but now live in Lititz, PA. I have a day job working for Penn State Health Children's Hospital as a Registered Dietitian. Eventually I hope to be making enough through Real Estate Investing to quit my 9 to 5 and use the money to have a family and spend my time with them. I recently became very interested in Real Estate Investing as I realized paying monthly rent to someone is a waste. Then came the realization that someone could instead be paying me to rent a property that I own. Then I discovered BiggerPockets and here we are!

I just recently finished the Ultimate Beginners Guide here on BP and am currently finishing up a draft of my business plan. My first goal is to find a small multi-family home around the Lititz or Hershey PA areas. I plan to house hack this first property by living in one of the units and renting out the rest. From there I hope to grow my buy and hold business to create enough cash flow to begin flipping houses as well as providing for my growing family. I am very interested in flipping because I believe my eye for design is one of my best assets.

I am brand new to Real Estate Investing but am ready to dive in! I am looking forward to learning from and networking with the community here. Thank you in advance for any and all guidance or insight you all have to share!

Have a great day!

Angie Comis

Hello Angela! 

I too am new to the BiggerPockets community, and like you, first became interested in real estate when I thinking about my own rent payment each month. I am attracted to the lifestyle of real estate investors. While they are incredibly busy, I dream of being my own boss making my own decisions that directly affect my bottom line and not being stuck at a 9-5. 

I hope that joining BiggerPockets turns out to be the difference maker we are looking for!

Thanks for posting, and best of luck. See you around on the forums!
