@Nancy Bachety Your daughter is very fortunate to have a mother who already has skin in the game of Real Estate. And I will be sure to check out your meetings I've been thinking about (a.k.a procrastinating) about going to a local REIA meeting.

@Nancy Bachety Thanks for the response also, its nice to see a fellow Long Islander. If you don't mind me asking has your daughter taken any steps to her REI goal? Also I am thinking about investing in New York for the long term. I know the barrier of entry is much harder and the CAP rates are at pretty much all time lows no matter where you go in NYC do you have an suggestions or areas maybe out on the Island that I could begin to research.

Hello Bigger Pockets community my name is Daniel and I am currently an Accounting Major at Baruch College. To get straight to the point I want to pursue a career in REI, but I don't have sufficient funds to do so. I would love to be studying the Real Estate Finance course at my college as I believe it will help me in my future REI endeavors, but as for getting a job out of school the odds will be highly against me. On the contrary if I stick with Accounting job opportunities are highly available especially in New York. So, do I stick with the major that isn't my passion and hope to have enough money to pursue REI in the future or go head first into the Real Estate Finance major learn in depth about all aspect of Real Estate and figure the rest out funding later. I hope some of you understand my dilemma and any input I will greatly appreciate.
