So I think it wise for folks to educate themselves as much as possible & grow organically instead of thrusting themselves into a bunch of properties just because they can.

I’m very hard working, a great organizer and planner, a people person, and don’t have a problem working from the ground up in order to learn the ropes.

They helped me to organize my thoughts!

You may get a tax break if you can find an organization to donate it to. 

They are very organized and informative.

Thanks for the reply Brett.I am currently working on Filing my articles of organization, my marketing startegies,  my website,and looking at which companies to use for a VA and call center.Im also looking to assist a local wholesaler by bringing them my first deals to help me analyze the deals and split the profit.Ive heard that wholesaling in the suburbs of NYC may be more productive than the city itself.Do you have any knowledge of the NYC market and surrounding areas?

We're focused on City of Pittsburgh and first ring suburbs.My experience in real estate has all been personal so far, including doing a 2-year long gut renovation of my current house, and being on the board of a nonprofit community organization that works on housing issues and works with local developers (nearly 10 years).

I already have couple HCV tenants, however I've never heard about this organization before.

Eager to learn from and share with Bigger Pockets community.Extensive background in mortgage lending and non-profit residential development.

The company is roughly organized into (1) acquisitions, (2) asset management/operations, (3) risk management (also construction), (4) finance/tax, and (5) legal.This is an awesome learning opportunity, and I want to take full advantage of it.
