Hello All,I'm new to BP and am using this site as source to educate myself about REI.

My name is Lenny and I currently live in Long Island but spend the majority of my time in NYC due to work.For years I have always been interested in becoming a Real Estate Investor, but have either let negative people talk me out of it, or let small things or my lack of knowledge hold me back from moving ahead.I came across this site by randomly typing in 'Real Estate forums' into Google, in hopes that in this day and age there is a forum for everything, and sure enough I was right.After browsing the site for a few minutes, I thought for sure it would prevent me from accessing any extra material due to my past experiences in regards to Real Estate knowledge.
