New member / investor New York, NY

[Keith Ghion]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to say hello. I'm a newbie in NYC who's been interested in getting into the real estate investment field for some time but just lacked the knowledge to do so. I'm in the entertainment business running my own talent agency and I'm looking to diversify income streams. I'm married with a little one on the way, wife and I are looking at buying our first house this fall (am I crazy to want to get into investing now?!?). I happened upon BiggerPockets via Fatwallet forms and Mr. Moneymoustache and I'm gaining confidence daily that I could actually do this.

I've got a lot of learning to do, I'm making my way through the Ultimate Beginners Guide. My biggest weakness (among many at this point hah) is the math behind the deals so I plan to take the next several weeks and learn as much as possible about that and go from there.

Open to any good REI clubs in the city, I've found one or two that I'm looking more into but if anyone has a good suggestion I'm all ears. Look forward to engaging folks more in the coming months.
