I'm so excited to join BiggerPockets and begin my real estate investing career.

Note: If you see Real Estate investing as your new career and you really...really...really but really want a job, work with a real estate firm in investing, a developer, a hard money lender or someone like that so you learn faster.

Everything I mentioned above are things I enjoy doing but there is no one thing in that list that I would enjoy doing day in and day out every day for the rest of my career.

I'm hoping I can have a clean, smooth, and positive start to my investing career.

After 6 months of ups and downs, I can officially say my real estate investing career started with a house I bought for $1.  

I was recently at a meeting where the speaker stated that many investors made their seed money in other ventures such as owning restaurants, a professional career such as CPA, etc.

Aggregating data from public information is typically better to buy or rent from commercial providers unless you want customized data fields, highly targeted leads, compiled lists or response lists (prospects test have responded to others' offers). 

When I asked what is was for, he said that it pays for the office help to handle all the paperwork so the agent can focus on buyers and being in the field.

A little bit about myself...I was born and raised in Westchester, NY (about 45 minutes north of Manhattan) and currently have a career in Interior Design & Textile Sales, with an extensive background in residential design & construction.

Bay View I guess I'd call B+ to A, lots of young adults with careers and family, and currently a very desirable place to live.
