Senior Security Engineer but Newbie in Real State in NJ

[Jose R Carmona Garza]

Hi all,

Who I am?

My Name is Roberto Carmona, I'm 31 years old and I'm from Monterrey, Mexico. 

What I do?

I'm a Systems Engineer and I've been working in the IT industry during the last 7 years. I moved to the States 3 years ago and it has been an awesome experience.

I currently work as a Security Network Consultant in Central NJ and I just love what I do.

What I'm doing here? 

These last weeks I've been thinking about on how to make some cash flow. So I've been reading some financial books in order to know more about the different ways that I can use to start investing. So far, Real Estate caught my eye.

Currently I have ordered some books, I've listened some Podcasts at BP. In addition, I've joined some REI groups in Meetup in order to attend local meetings and gain more knowledge.

Any suggestions or recommendations are very welcome.
