New to real estate investing but ready to learn & succeed

[Jenny Samedy]

Hi all,

My name is Jenny and i am new to bigger pockets. I recently moved to Hempstead with my husband after we got married. We both had properties prior to getting married, therefore we ended up renting my house in Connecticut and that is going well so far. Now that i have my feet wet from our first rental by default, i am interested in acquiring more rental properties as investments and gain passive income. I have always been interested in real estate but put it on the back burner while i focused on my career. But now i'm back and ready to succeed. To prepare myself before making my first business deal, I have been listening to podcasts and audiobooks and starting my real estate class this Sunday (yay!). As we all know, real estate in the tri-state area is very challenging because the market is so high and competing with the large cash buyers really put new investors at a disadvantage.  From learning about the nearby markets, i realized that i might have to do long distance investing instead. Therefore, while i won't pass a deal in the tri-state if it were to present itself, now I am interested in more affordable areas such as Rochester and Maryland. Please reach out if you have any suggestions, advices or just to say hi. Looking forward to learning and sharing my journey with you all.
