I am a Beginner and I want to Say Hello
Hello BiggerPockets Community,
So a small introduction, the name is Joseph, I am 34 years old, born, raised and currently living in Brooklyn, NY. I have been working really hard the last few years to earn/save money in order to make some sort of tangible move for myself (ultimately my whole family). I know myself to be organized, hardworking, a great team player, kind and respectful, motivated and logical.
I have built a good amount of risk tolerance through life, sport and financial investments, mostly in stocks ( this helped develop that strong stomach). I am a big Dave Ramsey fan and have worked on a creating a strong financial foundation, no debt, emergency found over 6 months, a retirement account and now money I have saved for investments.
I have purchased "The Book on Rental Property Investing" and although I am about half way through I have learned a lot. Being in NYC does make things a bit more challenging given the entry price of the market here but I am excited to explore things a bit more and hopefully learn from those who have walked this path before. Some of which I hope to find here in Bigger Pockets.
I have arrived with the intent to be a sponge and I am open to all forms of advice and guidance. Feel free to reach out, comment or bust my chops along the way haha.
Thanks for having me.
