Hi everyone,

I was wondering if Zillow is a good place to look for properties, or are there better listing sites? Thanks in advance

Oh - and be sure to set up some Keyword Alerts- especially for "Bohemia" so you'll be notified when people mention it here in the forums.

Thanks again for introducing yourself!

Hello and welcome!

I am pretty new also, and so what little advice I have for you is this....put yourself out there and get a great mentor to work with! Show your value, work hard, and believe that there are great experienced folks out there willing to help you along your journey!

You'll do great! :)

Hello to everyone at bigger pockets I'm excited to be part of the community! My name is Matt Crain, I'm 35 years old with absolutely no real estate experience whatsoever. I want to build a solid foundation of education before diving into any deals, so I've joined bigger pockets and am reading some good books to start and listening to the podcasts. I also bought a real estate terms dictionary, so I'm learning the terminology. I work 2 jobs at the moment so any spare time is spent learning about real estate investing. I live on Long Island but am going to be moving to Sarasota Florida within the next 2 years, am thinking of investing down there. Thanks in advance
