New member introduction. In Queens NY.

[Eli Aviel]

Hello my name is Eli, Im a full time mobile app developer from Queens NY. 

My goal is to be a full time RE investor and get financial freedom and good education for my 3 kids thru RE. 

I have been lurking on bigger pockets for a while, hesitant on if I should post cause I am relatively new and don't have much to offer. But As a wise man once said:"He who asks a question remains a fool for five minutes. He who does not ask remains a fool forever."

I spent the last year on education, reading books, listening to podcasts and i'm soon to get my real estate license and now decided to take action. After all that I have read and heard, I have yet to understand, concretely, how to find an area/zip that suits my monetary capabilities and that the market is suitable for fix & flips or BRRRR.
I would love to hear thoughts, and get applicable and non-abstract tools and advice on the subject. I look forward to learning much more from this wonderful community, and completing my first deal soon.

If you are in the NY area, feel free to drop me a line.
