@Julie Kern I stuck through the whole thing and I find it amazing! I’m inspired, I want to be able to quit my job in about that same timeframe. You got me fired up! And I wish you the absolute best. I hope you post your progress.

So for starters my name is Alvin, and as the subject line states I'm new to real estate investing. Like many of you out there this isn't my full time job. One day it will be, but right now it isn't. I'm fully dedicated to making this my life. As of right now my full time job is as a Respiratory Therapist. I live in New York City, which I think makes it a little tougher to start and at the same time have access to a few local resources that some may not, so I can't really complain. Right now I badly want to take action. I've read a lot of material, watched some webinars, watched YouTube videos, attended workshops, and I'm ready to face the fear of the unknown. 

Part of my struggle was figuring out where to start. But i think I have come up with a decent plan. My immediate goal is to gain experience and capital through wholesale. After that I plan on transitioning to multifamily for cash flow. Then my ultimate life time goal is to own a high-rise building. I want to document my journey on bigger pockets because I know I'm not the first and I won't be the last. But maybe just maybe one person out there will see this and relate to it and be inspired. Also if anyone taking the time to read this and has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it.
