Hello from Long Island! Good to be here!

[Greg Pasquale]

Hello to Everyone at BP!

I have already posted a question or two in a different thread but wanted to formally introduce myself here.

I am obviously new here as well as to Real Estate Investing. My current and past investments have been in “paper” – stocks, bonds, 401K, and also physical gold and crypto-currency. I also actively trade stocks and crypto a few times a week. This all pales in comparison to Real Estate. To say the amount of real estate info I have processed over the last month (through books, blogs, articles, and this site) has been overwhelming and intimidating is an understatement. I will have lots of questions (I apologize in advance for the rookie questions) and I am excited to hear the feedback from so many folks from various backgrounds and skill-sets.

Admittedly, I am unsure of where to focus yet. I am still in the discovery stage. I am still weighing my options, looking at my individual circumstances, and defining my goals.

I live on Long Island (yes I know…competitive markets, tough, lots to consider) and would love to hear from, and connect with, folks who have some experience investing in Long Island (or anywhere for that matter.) I can get into more of my individual goals, financial situation, etc. as well as I . I am not opposed to any type of real estate investing at this point (i.e. house hacking, remote investing). I have some disposable income, which could increase as this year continues, and do not want to squander it or put it into my current portfolio. I am also at a stage in my life where I am able to take on this challenge and learn a new skill.

I look forward to connecting with the people here and paying it forward as I take my lumps and gain experience.
