Here I am, brand new

[ERIC Y]

I am from Southern California.

2 master degrees, 6-year CPA experience from one of the Big 4 accounting firms - guess what, I quit after I made manager last December because I just couldn't take the rat race anymore.

I have been looking for different type of projects to pursue for over a year now. First I attempted to buy a certain small business based on my knowledge and work experience on transaction due diligence; I was focused n the cash flow, the rate of return, how many years before I could get my money back etc... it didn't work out.

Long story short, after months and months of mental struggle, I filtered and filtered myself to seek out my real interest, something that would match my skillet, my financial goals and my personality. I decided to pursue real estate investment.

Step 1: education
Step 2: networking
Step 3: small projects possibly with a partner through networking stage
Step 4: repeat good practice, analyze mistakes and avoid them; do more.
Step 5: get broker license
Step 6: unknown

Step 1 starts here...
