Offical intro, and first deal story!

[Kara Leboeuf]

Hello BP, i have lurking this site for about 6 months now, and I'm glad to finally introduce myself. My name is Nick and I am from upstate New York. I am a recent college grad, and first caught the REI bug when I attended a free house flipping seminar put on by one of the "flip this house" guys. I'm glad I decided to pass on the $2,000 course that was being offered and instead go home and do some research online. Since I found BP I have been learning so much from the community here. I also have also found inspiration in the wise words of Robert Kiyosaki.

Personally my passion and interest is in multi-family homes. Brandons’ article about how to become a millionaire in 7 years really made me understand that building wealth through multi-family investing is possible.
As of now I am investing in the Albany NY area, and officially closed on my first home earlier today! I will explain how I used FHA financing and other suggestions from the BP community to get PAID $2,440.00 to buy my first home in another thread detailing my purchase!
(Link coming soon)

For now I would just like to say hello, and thank you all for contributing to such a prosperous and informational online community! If anyone is interested in chatting please feel free to send me a message, also if anyone in the upstate NY area wants to meet up for a coffee and talk REI / multi fam investing that would be great.

Thanks again,

Nick

Hi Nick Leboeuf,

Welcome to BiggerPockets!

Congratulations on your first deal. Getting cash back at the close is awesome.

I am a big fan of Kiyosaki. I have every one of his books. Read his first one on a train in Italy while on vacation. I couldn't put it down!

Feel free to post any questions you have. There is lot of talent in these forums, and we're happy to help out.

Continued success!
