Hello everyone,
My name is Greg Ranjitsingh and i’m heading into my 7th year of professional soccer. At the beginning of my career, I never thought about preparing myself to be financially successful without soccer. In recent months however, I have done much research in setting myself up for life after the game, making sure that I start the right investments so that the transition is smooth.
I started listening to the biggerpockets podcasts on the way to trainings which sparked my interest to begin investing in real estate. I’ve read a few books the podcast guests have recommended, watched many youtube videos, and have been scrolling though the forums to gain a base understanding.
This year i’m ready to start my real estate journey so I just wanted to hop on here quick and introduce myself and share my story. I’ll be in Philadelphia this year so if there is anyone in the community who would like to meet up to share ideas, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

@Antonio Cucciniello
In the past I think I just didn’t think about building my wealth and making sure that i’ll be okay once soccer can’t pay the bills anymore.
Being recently married and wanting to start a family really opened my eyes to putting my money in the right places for our future. Last year I started investing in stocks and was able to grow my account significantly and this year i want to diversify my portfolio and step into the world of REI.
I’ve been doing research for months and of course i’ll continue to learn along the way, but I guess the only thing stopping me is that first deal right now. I feel like i’m getting closer to it especially now with all the help from the BP community
I’ll be sure to post my journey and ask questions along the way. Hopefully one day, i’ll then be able to help others

@Greg Ranjitsingh Hi Greg, welcome to BP, and the fun, sometimes overwhelming, but often rewarding world of REI. I'm in the Central PA area - 20 mins west of Harrisburg if you ever want to explore that area or chat.
I would maybe focus on the 1 or 2 strategies that align with your strengths and keep exploring them. Grow your skills in analyzing deals and continue networking. Line up everything so you are prepared to act when the deal(s) are there.
Feel free to connect or reach out if I can help with anything. Best of luck
