Hey everyone,

My name is Jose Garcia and I recently turned 21 years old. I am in a Dual Degree program at NYU for degrees in Math and Mechanical Engineering.

I have always been one of those people who don't want to end up working for someone to make them rich and I consider myself and entrepreneur since I run a couple of ecommerce sites:

www.5hpstickers.com
www.customcarcases.com
www.islandimportperformance.com

I have always wanted to get into real estate and began reading into wholesaling after someone on the "Millionair Fastlane Forum" made a post about her mentoring of others and how they didn't take action so she gave away her course for FREE so she could find people who would actually follow through with her step by step guide. I read her guide and then got started but now after reading some threads here, I see that her methods will work since they are basically the same as things I've read on here.

My Goals:
- To begin in the wholesaling niche on Long Island
- Make my first deal within 2 months after starting
- To make $50,000 within a year after closing my first deal

Steps to get started:
- I have already began building my buyers list (5 so far) but will continue to go at it before taking any other steps or even looking at houses
- I have to get a real estate attorney to look over contracts
- Find a title company
- Get my next door neighbor (real estate agent) to help me find houses

Please let me know of any tips or info that you think may be useful for someone like me just starting out.
