Looking To Connect with local investors!

Hey all! 

I've been educating myself on house hacking for the past year and haven't really taken any action. I've met up with some people I connected with here on BP and had great conversations regarding lenders and agents but with teaching and coaching, I am mentally fatigued to go home and focus on my investment goals. 


I analyze 2-3 deals everyday so I guess you can say I am experiencing some analysis paralysis. My current goal is to purchase a small multi-fam here in jersey city and partner up with friends of mine and split the 3.5 down payment. 

I'm currently on winter break from school and want to see if there are any local investor meet ups in the jersey city area. I have all the time in the world!! All I think about it house hacking and would love to share my ideas with new connections! 

Cheers

Hi Brian - I don't have any answers, but I share your struggle. I also would like to find a multi fam in JC. Let me know if you want to share ideas.

Sounds like you are ready to take action.  Analysis paralysis is a serious drug! Lol.  What is your holdup? 

Also, I co-host a monthly meetup in Morris County... would love to have you.

Thanks for the reply Jake! My hold up at the moment is not having enough cash for down payment hence why I want to have friends/partners on board and execute. I have a a good amount of money in my pension but I won’t be able to access that until august 2023. This is my second year working full time so my savings aren’t that high. With that said, I’m doing everything I can to save up. Try to be as frugal as I can 

I am definitely interested in attending your monthly meet up in Morris county

Hi Brian!

I'm down in Atlantic County NJ, just outside of Atlantic City and on Jan 14th our NJREIN is having a full day event.

It will be great for networking, asking questions and the panel of experts are all from NJ, might be a great connection for you.

You can find SJREIN on facebook in which the event and details are posted!
