Getting Started in NJ

Account Closed
Posted

Hello everyone.  I am a beginner in the real estate world and have been reading up and watching videos to educate myself.  I am looking to start taking action once I have the money to start doing so (flipping, investing/renting).  Being a recent college graduate and I am in the process of getting hired for a job right now and plan on going straight into the real estate game once I have capital.  As of the right now, I want to get some experience and connect with others.  I am in the New Jersey, Bergen County area.  If anyone has tips for getting started/any good meet ups or events in area I would greatly appreciate it!  Just looking to get involved and learn the ropes.  Looking forward to connecting!

Hi Kyle,

Welcome to BP! It's good that you are thinking about investing and getting prepared to jump right in. I am always happy to talk real estate and answer any questions I can. As far as meetups, @Shawn Mcenteer runs a great one every month at Brix City brewery and I also run a monthly one with @Dennis Yosco. You can find local meetups in the "Events" section. You will meet some awesome people at these events.

Best regards,

Pete
